Sweden

Surprised to read hey are ranked 42 in the world. I thought they would be at least top 20. I know they are in a rebuilding phase but they have been pretty competitive over the past 20 years or so.

Who is going to the Liberty next Wednesday? I am plus 3

The FIFA rankings are junk. Better than they used to be but still a joke. Sweden are easily top 30 at least. They'll give us a really tough game on Wednesday.

The USA are ranked 11th ffs!!!

The system is a joke.

I still remember back to Marcus Hahnemann's rant on Five Live a good few years back now before USA were due to play Mexico and the interviewer said 'how does it feel to go into this as second favourites?'. Hahnemann then went 'second favourites? The Mexicans can't win anything outside of bloody Mexico! One of the best ranked teams in the world? Whatever!'. Pot? Kettle? Black?
