Is that right? The Sixth Best Country in the World at football is Switzerland???? While Italy is 9th and France 17th???
WTF????
I understand that Switzerland is the home of FIFA but this is taking things too far
I think they were second in the world under Hodgson!? Standards have slipped. ;-)

Shows how skewed the FIFA Rankings are (though I can't think of a better system.
No one can agree surely that Group E is harder than Group B, for example.
Can someone with more time on their hands than me say which are hardest groups if take out the lowest ranked team? As a really low ranked team can really skew the results.
Can I be the first (and only?) to say the FA have picked a disappointing hotel for the team.
Stayed there for a few nights in 2010 and it is down the end of the beach near Rocina shanty town and a taxi ride to any entertainment. The pool is OK though the view is just stunning. Nearest bit of the beach was the dirtiest section. Not swimmable or a place to lie down and unwind.
I know its been done up but really, there are so many better places they could have selected.
Why do the Flu colours look familiar ? Didnt we have those colours as away strip some time ago?
We certainly did! In the late 90s for two seasons. We had the full kit and the half purple and green and half purple and white the next season, not to mention the green and white hoops as a third kit. People moaning about this year's kit don't know how lucky they are!
The only images I can find of our trend setting away kits.
That was it !!
I'll admit it, I the full kit for the firsr one, although I was only about ten at the time. I've got a feeling the second was our promotion year away kit in '98.

I lived both of those and the green and white with a touch of red hoops. Always been a traditionalist for the home kit but liked something quirky for away

Cruyff, Muller, Beckenbauer, Rep, Neeskins...some proper players on show and of course Jack Taylor reffing.

Has been quite an entertaining game, quality isn't great though.
