FIFA World Rankings

That's a great article.

Superb work from Wales and Romania to use the system to their advantage.

Isn't it just? Loads of great stuff on that site

I do vaguely remember the thing with Netherlands messing up their World Cup seeding with the Indonesia friendly but the detailed explanation of it all is great.
 
Love the bit about the student from the Faroe Islands spotting the error in the rankings!
 
I believe Netherlands were ranked 6th, when they failed to qualify for the 2002 world cup in Korea/Japan.
 
Senegal higher ranked than Turkey. Cape Verdi higher than Russia. What a load of bollocks.

Senegal have a front 3 of Sadio Mane (Liverpool), Balde (who has just moved to Monaco from Lazio) and Sakho (West Ham), that's far more firepower than Turkey has. Turkey are awful nowadays, they finished 4th in their group whilst Senegal look likely to qualify for the world cup.
