I think that the very fabric of reality would have been rent asunder if the US made the top 10. Thank god they only made the 11th position.

That means shit. HTF can France be up there if they scored 0 and the United States got almost through to the semi finals?

because it is a points system that works from previous positions. france were holders of the world cup 1998 and the euro 2000 championships, and were no1 at start of the wc2002.

there is only so far they can drop, i guess.

its either that, or a european consipiracy against countries outside the eu, espcially the us

Mexico should have dropped 5 positions for losing against the USA.

i think beating croatia and getting a result out of italy got you bonus points frenzy

 

[Luis G]

yeah.......they should have dropped 7 positions for losing against that team that the USA beated.
