Some dreadful seeded teams there if true You think Belgium are an awful team? I think the only one I'd say shouldn't be there is Switzerland, and I'd put Italy in their place. Link to comment
King Street Loon Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 FIFA World Rankings.We all know what a farce they are. We look likely to jump from 63rd or whatever we are to 30 something when the the latest tables are released. Link to comment
Dynamo Posted October 17, 2013 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 They're already out. Scotland are 35th I think Link to comment

Dynamo Posted October 17, 2013 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 Apparently if we get a favourable result against the Yanks we'll jump to the nose bleeding territory of 20 something. All good for our seeding for Euro 2016 though. Link to comment

dave_min Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 All good for our seeding for Euro 2016 though. I'm pretty sure the Euro Draw Seeding is based on performance in the previous Euros. Link to comment
Bluto10 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 You think Belgium are an awful team? i think theyre good (possibly - who knows. made light work of a poorish group) man u bought fellaini to little fanfare. he is one of their big players.hazard has looked good for chelsea (in patches) but maybe not as good as others like oscar and hazard. too much is made of them though; too hipster, full of hype.maybe this is because for the first time since the late 80s they have a decent side. but this group is not better than italy or netherlands.even england would give them a game ffs.

The hipsters choice is Colombia, I read somewhere last week. Belgium have good players all through the team. They're solid. Quarter finals. Link to comment

The Hulk Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 hazard has looked good for chelsea (in patches) but maybe not as good as others like oscar and hazard.I think Hazard is a fantastic player, he's certainly every bit as good as Hazard, he might even be better. Link to comment
E-P-K Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I'm on about the latest ranking min. Such an epic fail If the WC was outwith SA we could dismiss Columbia and Messrs Suarez and Cavani. but being played in SA, then both will have to be taken seriously, if Messrs Suarez and Cavani can beat Jordan.

Dynamo Posted October 17, 2013 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 I don't mind the seedlings being mixed up, although you'll inevitably get some absolute shiter groups as well as a couple if tasty ones. I also see FIFA are trying to get teams to wear all one colour for their kits in the WC, so Germany would be all white, Spain all red etc. and there's outrage about it already. Even for Goalies Bri?Was hoping Mexico would opt for another understated number like this! (providing they qualify!) Link to comment
