This looks like complete arse to me. 30 international games can span a 5-6 year period, during which time a completely new crop of players can emerge. Where does form come into the equation?, England's performance the other night was dismal, while Germany looked like potential winners. I've no clue how Mexico made the top eight, perhaps because they're based in Central America, and the competition isn't that stiff? And winners of the previous world cup, Italy, in behind them at number 8??? ... get real!!
