Title: Re: [nas] FIFA soccer rankings: US's slip is showing

What’s the point of having a World Cup if a month later FIFA is going to declare a team that didn’t even make the finals as the #1 team in the world???

Yeh, Uruguay surprised me? Egypt  won the ACN, so I guess I see how they moved up.

6 African teams in the top 25?  I think FIFA  might have gone from overvaluing CONCACAF games to overvaluing CAF  games.  And no Asian teams in the top 30?
