Belgium's a better footballing nation than England

Post by Delete Your Account »

By a fair margin.

Find it weird that Brazil were ranked 22nd last month. I guess that's what happens when you aren't playing consistently for big points (since they aren't in WCQ).

Belgium are actually a pretty good football team.
To be below Greece on the other hand, now that's embarassing.

Really? Do people really still take these things seriously?

Mind you having seen how alot of you people in Adelaide drive I suppose that believing these sort of things is understandable.

By the way the Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy and Santa are not real.

This is true and it just proves that even sh*t teams can win a cup competition.

Greece and Liverpool are perfect examples :wink:

A stat you might be interested in Ian Wrights:

Since Arsene Wenger last won a trophy at Arsenal, all other 91 English league clubs have changed their manager.

and? the topic was about england and belgium

football is a minority sport in ireland with the gaelic games far more popular, and with the population of ireland 44 is about right, however englands ranking is a joke

Countries rankings should reflect their youth development history - in that case England would be ranked at number 340. :oops:
