      Portugal look a bit high as well. Surprised Chile's Copa victory hasn't bumped them higher.

        They're behind three other South American teams.

          Well done, Coleman and co.

          I'd say that being above both Spain and the Netherlands is a bigger boast, however...

            First time ever Wales have outranked England. Apparently.

            I don't really think it reflects true playing strength.

              Certainly not if both England and Wales are above Spain and Holland.

                  Ah, I remember the heady days of 1993-94, when Ireland peaked at 6th in the rankings, ahead of Argentina.

                  Up til this month, it was the only time in the twenty plus years of the FIFA rankings when England weren't the highest ranked side in the British Isles.

                    Pretty sure Ireland peaked higher than sixth, didn't they?

                      I'm pretty sure it was sixth. I think that was in September 1993, after Ireland had beaten Lithuania 2-0 to stay top of the WC94 qualification group, just before the mauling by Spain. The same week, Argentina lost 5-0 at home to Colombia which resulted in Ireland leapfrogging them in the rankings.

                        Just been looking at the group table. Wales have effectively qualified whatever happens against Israel on Sunday, because their last game is a home tie against Andorra. There's no way they won't beat Andorra.

                          Sixth in one of the interim rankings for 1993

                              Here's hoping they lose to Andorra, then.

                                  In some ways, I should be calling you an ungracious and curmudgeonly cunt but I have to say that, should the unthinkable happen, I hope that all English, Irish and Scottish supporters feel the same about us. The last thing I want is the sort of Plastic Paddery that happens whenever Ireland qualify and England don't. I don't want us to be condescendingly "England supporters' favourite second team"

                                  I have taken a register over the years of who has been wishing Wales well and everyone else is a bandwagon-jumping cunt.

                                    Oh, don't worry. We'll be laughing our bollocks off when you stink the tournament out, if that makes you feel any better?
