Fox Soccer Club Rankings

The Fox Soccer Club rankings are really wierd.

here they are

It says that:
The FSCCR are compiled from votes by FSI writers and commentators from the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Chile, and Argentina.

Do these FSI writers follow the beautiful game at all? This is my question. For example:

Barcelona beats Chelsea in Champions League
Juve loses to Werder Bremen in Champions League

somehow Juve passes up Barcelona for the top spot.

also,

Roma overtakes Fiorentina in Serie A, here are their recent forms:
Fiorentina: D-W-L-W-D-W-W-L-L-W
Roma: W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W

And somehow Fiorentina is ranked 4 spots above Roma.

PSV climbed despite losing in Champions.

... I don't know, it seems like they are just voting randomly or something.

this has nothing to do with your post Czar. Just thought you might like to know that showtime has picked up Arrested Development for 28 episodes. 🙂

Hopefully it has to do with form in general and not so much the very most recent game. That still woudln't examplain it all.

What is up with AS Roma? Seems like they've been on fire ever since they sold Cassano.
