Cola fan, why I'm replying to you...i don't know, I guess I'm just a petty person!

About the rankings....you are FOUR places ahead of us....think about this first

USA population 300million
Ireland population 3million

last time we played we won 2-1, it was in Lansdowne Rd in Dublin, just before the World Cup, I was at it - Reyna and Pope were the only worthwhile "Team USA" players.

The Rankings are based on results in competitive matches played

Ireland are in UEFA - other teams in UEFA include, Portugal, Spain, Italy, England, France, Sweden, Denmark etc.

USA are in CONCACAF - do you really want me to list the other teams in this??!! Canada, Cuba, Saint Lucia, Haiti, Jamaica, El Salvador, Trinidad and Tobago

I know whose competitive matches are easier to win - and therefore easier to climb FIFA rankings.

PS - what was the score when USA played Germany at the World Cup?? We drew with them....how'd you do?? [Razz]
