FIFA World Rankings

Postby Dirko » Thu Dec 18, 2008 12:43 pm

Australia on the back of a strong start to qualification for the 2010 World Cup, and good friendly results have gone into the Top 30 for the FIRST time :shock:

They are sitting at 28th, ahead of countries such as Ivory Coast, Scotland, Sweden, Poland & Denmark.

Fantastic result for Pim and the lads...

The biggest fall went to New Zealand who fell 26 spots from 60th to 86th. The biggest rise was Fiji who went from 137th to 106th a rise of 31 spots. Mainly due to Oceania qualifying where Fiji beat the Kiwi's a couple of times (but not the penultimate game :( ).

2 Germany
3 Netherlands

Did you just think of that on the spot? because if you did, thats pretty special.

I would never have thought of that.
