It's amazing we're still #1 in Asia.

The ranking system really needs to be revised.

We don't play any matches, hence we don't loose any points.. Others play, and loose, hence they loose points. But all in all, they progress, we become like sooskmar teams..

Wow I can't believe Australia is 11th in Asia now.

Imo it's not that unfair if they can't even beat Qatar and UAE.

Australia is gradually coming down to Asian level

Not playing matches should warrant losing some points maybe?

[Paradigm]

After liberation our ranking will get much better.

Goooo Bush 2016

That would be nice. Though the IFF clowns would just enjoy that and laugh about it..

What is up with SA? Are they really hurting that much with talent or is it something else? I wish we play them more often than since in my opinion, they did less grass rolling than other Persian Gulf Arab teams.

I'm not sure it does.

I remember before the WC there was this article on how Switzerland became a #1 seed over the Netherlands by essentially not playing friendly matches.

And I just found it:

You're probably wondering how Switzerland got seeded for the World Cup draw

As I heard it, it was because Italy and Netherlands played weak teams before the WC, hence why they dropped on the table?

True but it's just surprising that how terrible they've gotten since they started competing in Asia.
