Mexico and USA. We won both games.

Italy played against France (0-0 IIRC) and ...?

Argentina played against Australia (2-1 IIRC). </BLOCKQUOTE>

Italy's games were competitive whereas Brazil's and Argentina's weren't. It also depends on what results those replaced as it's based on a rolling 4 year (think it's 4) cycle.

What miketheheadlesschicken said, plus our games were more tougher then yours.

retired_jdupont

Yes, I know. But it's still weird.

retired_jdupont

I don't think it matters in the ranking.

retired_jdupont

It would be good if the ranking showed where the team lost points and where the team got them.

I don't think we were robbed or anything, but the ranking is clearly flawed (as we all know ).

retired_felicityh

from number 2 downwards the rankings are flawed.

retired_jdupont

This is what I used to say when Brazil was topping it.
