WHERE DO YOU PEOPLE RANK THE US ON THE FIFA RANKINGS

[lilphenom]

CURRENTLY THE US IS RANKED 19TH IN THE WORLD ACCORDING TO FIFA WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE CECH WHICH IS RANKED NUMBER 2 WHICH IS CRAZY AND HOLAND WHICH IS 23RD WHICH IS CRAZY BECAUSE HOLLAND IS A MUCH BETTER TEAM THAN THEY ARE RANKED I THINK THE RANKINGS ARE ADEQUATE BUT I WAS WONDERING WHAT YOU PEOPLE THINK ABOUT THE RANKINGS AND WHERE WOULD YOU PUT YOUR COUNTRY AND WHERER WOULD YOU PUT THE US ????

US IN MY OPNINION 19-21ST

U see its impossible to do realistic table of all countries-members of FIFA, there are more members in FIFA then UN has them :) U think Czechs are bad team that they dont deserve third place? They finished qualifications for euro2000 without defeat and draw all wins, maximum of points. Anyway its usually that teams from east europe are underestimated altough they play better football then most of the western europe nationals, manny says that Belgium is one of favourites of euro2000, ha, ha whatta bul.shit. I would give US around 30th place but still I believe my national team could beat them.They are 41st for the moment.

US - in the 70's
Holland - top 10

[gambine]

I'd rank the US 148th in the world.

[lilphenom]

just wait till 2002 then we will see what you think then

[Mihajloviç]

gambine, again , I totally agree, and would love to see the U.S. all the way down there, but they are not.

Well I am very happy to see Greece at 31st.We are climbing ever slowly.

And about the U.S.,I say in the 40's is about good.

[lilphenom]

look there is no way that a team that has not been in the world cup for who knows how long sch as greece is better. i am not putting this in a rude way becasue we have had our bad times but i am sorry there is no way greece would be ranked higher than the US ,yes no doubt greece is improving but they dont deserve to be ranked higher than we are i am just so tired of hearing just becase a country is in europe makes them better !!!!!!!! that is not true and we have proven it damnit just give us respect !!!!!!!!!!!!

The US is probably around 30 or so. You can't judge the team by what happened at the last World Cup, which a lot of people seem to do. The coach at the time made some bizarre changes two weeks before the cup, and is largely to blame for what happened.

Not familiar with the Czech team, so I can't say about their ranking.

Holland, definitely in the top 10.

Not familiar with the Greek team either.

mirkood thank you someone finally realizes what going on in here that idiot sampson was to blame not all the blame but alot of it he set back the US program at least 5 years by what he did but i still think we are a bit better than 30 i would say 20-25 and holland def is the top 10 maybe even 5
