FIFA Rankings

Never too sure about these as looking at the way the points are handed out just doesn't seem right to me, our win over Belgium was worth slightly more than Uraguay's draw with Venezuala but only half as much as Australlia's 1-0 win over Iraq and Argentina's win over Ecuador was worth 3 times as many points?

Here's the current rankings for the Euro 2012 teams, I assume Poland and Ukraine are so low because they didn't play any qualifiers.

1st Spain
3rd Germany
4th Netherlands
6th England
8th Croatia
9th Denmark
10th Portugal
12th Italy
13th Russia
14th France
15th Greece
17th Sweden
18th Republic of Ireland
27th Czech Republic
52nd Ukraine
62nd Poland
