Indeed. FIFA's (questionable, though) list of national teams world rankings currently has them on 14th place.

http://www.fifa.com/worldfootball/ra...llranking.html

The greatest title-collectors, are the Brazilians. The most constant top team, are the Germans.

Germans most feared opponent, are the Italians. Brazils most feared opponents they stumble most often over - they are themselves.

Estonia is at 102! AWESOME

Jimbuna · 01-12-10, 03:41 PM

I laugh at England in 9th position but I seriously question both Argentina and France being ahead of them when recent form shows they both only just scraped into a world cup qualifying position

Remember it is a statistical thing only, calculating past placements and results, no judges' assessment of present team form.

True (aka AMERICAN) football is a true sport - men battling each other all over the place, scrumming and pushing and gouging even when the ball is nowhere nearby. If memory serves me right, you can't even run over someone unless the ball is involved in "soccer". I mean - whats the point of a good scrum if you have to worry where some bloody ball went?

If you want to define a real sport - its where someone can get seriously injured in a legal collision that has nothing to do with where the "scoring" thing is...

Thus - only Hockey, real (aka AMERICAN) Football, and Auto Racing qualify as real sports.

That is more a definition of anarchy, circus or war, than sports.

Maybe egg-carrying would find greater acceptance outside the US if the players would not stand around so much of the time, and play would see more flow and action instead of brakes and interruptions, not to mention commercials. Concerning dynamics and match flow, egg-carrying is just this:

L-A-Z-Y - 'N - L-A-M-E !!!

The best of it are the chearleaders, which proves that it is a true girls sports!

Personally I hope American Football is never accepted outside the US (and maybe Canada). It is our sport and the last thing I want is a bunch of silly foreigners trying to take it over.

Rugby is ok but they'd be padding up too if they made NFL grade hits and tackles. We tried it without pads and helmets and the body count was just too great for society to accept.

Aussie Rules Footbrawl anyone?
