Gazza_8 233 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 A rise of 6 places. Surprised to see ROI overtake NI considering how shite they've been under Steve Staunton. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Ally 0 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Glad we got the traitor out before he did anymore damage. How have we risen again without playing though? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 How have we risen again without playing though? From Sporting Life Scotland have equalled their highest-ever position after climbing six places to 20th in the new list. Their rise, without playing a match in the past month, arises due to the complicated FIFA points system. Points gained over the course of a year are included in full, however results from any preceding 12 months count only for 50%, with that figure decreasing to 30% for a third year and then 20% for a fourth year. Teams who gained points at the African Nations Cup in January 2006 have duly taken a fall down the rankings, with Scotland among the main beneficiaries. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 850 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 IMO that is a remarkable stat and shows just how good Walter did. I remember Charlie Brown had us up to 26th but to be in the top 20 in the world is some stat! I dont think this is a precise stat but its still impressive. As for England - 6th!!! Who worked that out, I dont think so some how!! - Defo not a precise stat. Italy have came from nowhere, they werent even in the top 10 last year. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 England shouldn't even be in the top 10 nevermind mind the top 6th. They truly are a shocking team to watch. The pundits moan about how Lampard and Gerrard can't play in the same team, fuck how I'd love to see them in a Rangers or Scotland jersey. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
