So they scored plenty goals against Australia, England, and Argentina well yes i hear you, they havent done much in the last 2 years but neither of them are bad sides and they were beaten convincingly, (and world cup is always another bowl of soup, you get dark horses and teams that just turn the rankings uspide down..eg..when grece won the european cup, or norway or danemark)....by that same token Spain lost to Switzeland ranked 24....and barely got through Paraguay ranked 31 and Portugal...so yes ...from what i had seen so far at this world cup ..Germany looked the more convincing side by convincingly beating higher ranked oposition..Australia ranked 20 , Argentina 7 , England 8 (dosent matter who you are or what they have done or their form Argentina and England are never to be taken lightly) and because of knee surgery Torres is so out of form that its painful to watch.. I guess unless they all play the same oposition its always hard to get an accurate idea of how good they really are in relation to eachother and even that can change on the day...Germany murdered Australia but lost to Serbia, Australia beat Serbia with that said, Spain doing brilliantly, i was wrong quote:
And no offense Flo, but we know Cricket is where the Australian strength is not football I am not getting offended but thats a litlle unfair just because they good at criket...the people playing soccer for Australia are people who dont play criket, they been playing football all their lifes, professional football players...its not the same people that decide to put down the bat and kick the ball around...all they do is play footbal and they play it in Europe....we are doing better than plenty of more respected European and South American teams for whom footbal is the national sport ....and arent that good at criket either [;)] FIFA RANKING
