Meh, those rankings dont tell much. They include "old glory" too, thats why the Russians are still very high on the FIFA scale, but havent won anything since 1960, when theyve beaten us in the European cup finals... Anyway... My bet in the evening is Urugvay, since the French are not very good nowadays. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Becks from Friday, June 11, 2010 8:56:12 AM)

Well that was a good way to start the world cup. SA definitely challeneged Mexico and very nearly won. I would have thought the players would be a bit happier though, I know they were close to winning, but they're ranked 90th in the world (around there I think) and Mexico are 17th, and they really pushed them very well.
