England should not move back to top ten fifa world ranking, because they never won a cup in modern time football.
why is African and Asian countries are not in the top ten world ranking? countries like Cameroun,Nigeria, Ghana and Ivory coast have good records in Africa football.
i want to see African and Asian refrees officiating in 2010 world cup south Africa.
I am a Ghanaian and I’m proud to be one. It’s true Africans displayed a lot of tactics in the African Cup and I do agree to some extent that African and Asian countries should be in the top ten rankings of FIFA, but that would only happen if they really deserve it. Let’s consider the tremendous win by the Spanish(Euro 2008), the optimistic battle by the Italians, the beautiful team work display by the Dutch…Croatia, Portugal and Czech republic also entertained football fans all over the world. One thing I know for sure is that FIFA makes rankings according to realiity and the rankings stand as genuine.
