tylergomez 53 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I'd say going by recent performances the FIFA world rankings look pretty accurate .... Portugal !!!!!!! The way i look at is if all of the top 10/20/50/whatever played each other home and away and a league was created - would it look anything like the FIFA rankings? Were the top 4 the semi finalists of the last work cup? Or the top 8 the quarter finalists? Link to post Share on other sites
Aarfy_Aardvark 38 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 The problem with the rankings is that they fail to take into account teams who hosts the Euros and World Cup having the inability to gain points due to the lack of competitive games. This means France will become a dangerous seed for 2018. They could well have dropped into pot 3 had other teams below them won more watches - which is just ridiculous.

I didn't know you had to win the watches. I thought Fifa gave them as gifts :P Link to post Share on other sites
Snowblind 1,711 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 "An ostrich is listed at 500-1 by a bookmaker to be the next manager of Leicester City, a jokey reference to former Foxes boss Nigel Pearson's jibe at a journalist last season. (Leicester Mercury)" Absolute gold.., :D Link to post Share on other sites

Flamingo Land are their official shirt sponsor next season :D If they don't have a pink away kit they've missed a marketing goldmine there I've heard it is a pink away kit and that in a revolutionary new design, the shorts will only have 1 leg hole. This is for the tigers to become 1 with the flamingo, balancing the aggression and power of the jungle inhabiting creature with the gangliness and gormlessness of the pink and potentially sociopathic filter feeding avian atrocities. No mocking of flamingoes, they're a phenomenal animal and we should aim to emulate their gracefulness. Fortunately with our all new and highly prestigious sponsor we shall be halfway there.

Hendrie_7 1,068 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Martin O'Neill's supposedly the new Leicester manager, seems a strange one, I know he's a legend there but I don't think his style of football will go down too well there nowadays. Link to post Share on other sites
