I agree. USA get points for their qualifying games, and that's the quality of team they play.

Good question.

How on earth are Iceland 92nd in the world?

Decent teams get punished for facing better teams, really.

You wouldn't beat Uzbekistan though, now there's a talented team, should be much higher in the rankings

heh, USA's last 3 games have been against the mighty Panama, Costa Rica and Guatemala...

There really should be a weighting upon how many points you are awarded based on quality of opposition.

Iran are 15th. Ahaha.

Also, ahead of Scotland we have Kuwait, Jordan, Cuba, New Zealand, Trinidad & Tobago, Panama, Estonia, and quite a few other teams we'd easily demolish.

In fact, we DID demolish Trinidad & Tobago and Estonia, less than a year ago. So myeh.

Fifa rankings are officially meaningless.
