If the mantra "Win at home, tie on the road" worked for RSL, I could die a happy man.

I think everyone would be content with that.

(0-9-1 isn't exactly acceptable!)

The ratings system does give you a general bell-weather estimate of where certain teams stack up, but overall the thing is simply a joke. As much as I like the U.S., can anyone honestly tell me that they'd take the Americans over teams like Spain, Portugal, Italy, etc., who are all ranked below No. 6?

Didn't think so.

Btw, here is the complete list:

FIFA world rankings

Please add France onto the list of teams I'd take over the Americans.

Zidane and Mak back

Sweeeeeeet. Honestly, I think Zidane is playing just as well now, if not better, than he has in his entire career. France had better qualify now!

If we were discussing who's currently the best player in the world, Zidane wouldn't top my list anymore, but the guy is still so amazing to watch. He's just intelligent with the ball that it's ridiculous!
