How exactly are they worked out?

[Lord Kangana]

Oh goody. No need for any changes now then, its all working fine.

Indeed, an argument supported by the fact that Spain's position didn't improve one bit. We're coming Senor's.

How in the name of peter crouch are we 4th in the world?

[blurred]

Think that's funny? We'll be 3rd next month.

[Mar]

We beat the winners in a friendly prior to the tournament and drew with the runners up in the tournament (albeit losing on penalties). That should merit some rise in the rankings.

Our European Campaign was pretty much W2 D2 L0 in open play which is better than most teams.

[ohjimmyjimmy]

Do friendlies count towards rankings?

[boltonboris]

Do friendlies count towards rankings?

Yes. And you higher the rank of your opponents, the more points you get for a draw/win.

Up to third.

[Worthy4England]

What a summer.

All those golds, Number one cricket team in the world (well at the moment) and moving up the rankings at Football.

Invincible.

And the world's best golfer - despite him never having won anything.

[steviewander]

This is literally the most ridiculous thing ever.

HOW??!?!?

[boltonboris]

Uruguay are 4th. Is that ridiculous? Because I'd bet you my home that if we played them 10 times, we'd beat them more than they'd beat us (by quite a margin)

[Adam Wilson]

Uruguay are a class above us right now, just look at their strikers... we'd lose 7 out of 10 their best team vs ours. As for us being up to third in the rankings, nobody does comedy better than UEFA

We (well, TeamGB) beat them in the Olympics? Granted it was a restricted side but still had Suarez and Cavani up top. Didn't exactly overwhelm a team consisting of Sam Tomkins did it?

[boltonboris]

Suarez or Rooney? Cavani had a couple of good seasons in Italy.

They're a fan boys wet dream, but their usual opposition is feckin' shite. Even Brazil and Argentina would get dicked about in the Euro's.

Uruguay are THE most overrated nation in the world.

Bollocks

That title is Englands

[Tombwfc]

Who rates England?

I haven't heard anybody claim England were a decent team since.... well, England last were a decent team (World Cup qualifying 2010).

hahaha... don't really need to say any more to that.
