Just goes to show they are as mad as ever as Wales are now ranked 10th in the world.

And France are 22nd behind Slovakia, Austria, and Algeria. And Romania are setting the world on fire.

Totally barmy and pointless. Is it actually used for anything, e.g., seeding?

Yes they are used for seedings

wales are higher than spain in the new rankings now. despite the fact spain have won 3 of the last 4 major tournaments and wales didnt even qualify for any of them

Why the surprise? Since when has FIFA had a relationship with logic or common sense common sense?

FIFA, the organisation that gives the Cayman Islands (population 60,000) the same voting rights over football affairs as Brazil or Germany.

FIFA, who today banned Chuck Blazer from all football related activity for life - four years after he turned state's evidence for the FBI and started dropping all his fellow corrupt FIFA officials in the clarts.

Where are Micronesia?

They've just had a bit of a difficult time in the Pacific games which are a qualifier for the Rio Olympics.

Things started disappointingly losing the first game 30-0 apparently the game was marred by controversy as the 14th goal was clearly offside. Then Fiji beat them 38-0 with at least 12 of the goals being against the run of play. The last game against Vanuatu they quite simply didn't turn up losing 46-0, already on the plane I suspect with progression unlikely due to having not a great goal difference.

Have to feel for the poor guy thats Micronesia's sub keeper! How bad must he be!!
