Re: [nas] Worldwide Soccer Manager - Rankings?

BA was/is a great motivator, and a manager that could
emotionally lift his teams to play better, even if
their level was not as high as their opponent's.

So I hear what you are saying about our future
matchups against Mexico, and I dread doing another
Spanish language interview with Univision in Columbus
if I have to do it with my tail between my legs.

AND...

I hear what you're saying about them playing better on
the bigger stage.  I have ALWAYS said that Mexico is a
TOURNAMENT TEAM, and that NO ONE wants to face them in
group play or in the knockout rounds, because one of
these years, they are just going to get it... they are
too feisty to be fiddled with.  I couldn't agree with
you more on the point about the world stage.

My question is: Could they, at some point, break the
top 10 and REALLY BE CONSIDERED a top 10 team IN THE
WORLD?  TOP 5?!?

If that is the case, does that legitimize our region
and our qualifying draw and format?

Pull...

FIRE AWAY!!
