It's because they beat the second best team/network-owning-country in the world.0

When you beat the most overrated side in the world you also become really overrated. It's just the way it works.5

Does that mean Church is in the top 20 or 30 strikers in the world?8

I actually find Wales being in the top ten far more believable than the World Cup being in Qatar in the summer.0

Out of interest, has anyone got a better way of sorting the rankings? They are necessary for seeding, so scrapping them isn't an option.0

Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending the FIFA system VG, but the ELO one also seems to have come out of the "blue sky" with the Cloggies ranking 4th, if you are going to just use recent results. And you can't tell me half the England knockers (oh-err) on here wont be apoplectic at us being ranked 8th...

I presume the ELO ratings are over a longer time scale, hence the Welsh being in 43rd, below Scotland and Ireland, when they're definitely much better than the Irish at the moment.Algarveaddick said:

Another example of this system being flawed too.
Any budding Duckworths or Lewis's on here want to come up with a better idea? I'm not a numbers man, so I have no idea.
