Does anyone know how these points are assigned?Tontodonati July 2nd, 2008 22:19
Sure, Spain number one! Italy was also number one after they won the World Cup, and look what happened to them! Nonsense!Tontodonati July 2nd, 2008 22:22
Sajnshe, I assume you grew up without moral guidance. Just look at the words you use. That alone reveals that ypu're worth nothing!ajax72 July 2nd, 2008 22:33
He's still growing up so we ain't seen nothing yet. LOL.ironwill July 3rd, 2008 03:05
What a joke!!! Italia should be on top!!! We are the WORLD CHAMPIONS!!!!! Euro was just a training session for winning the next world cup with Marcello Lippi at the helm!!!chakal July 3rd, 2008 19:09
i can understand spain shouldn't be no. 1, but what i can't understand germany in no2. over Argentina and Brazil.krazy4footy July 4th, 2008 06:04
relax folks... big tournaments probably carry more points. So Euro 2008 gave a boost to those teams that went further. Once World Cup qualifying starts, everything will start shifting again. Its only a points system - it's not meant to reflect our national allegiances and favourite teams. So you Italians can chill out and Sajnshe - you must be Egyptian! there's NO WAY!CheexJM July 4th, 2008 06:19
WTF???!!EGYPT???
