What kind of a bullshower group is this ::) the FIFA rankings are rubbish!

Pretty unlucky that the 3rd best team in our group (Netherlands) would be the no.1 ranked in the Ivory Coast, Belgium etc. group!

Considering I'm half German they've been my favourite team since when i started watching the '06 cup. We always end up losing to the winners though  :'(

Are you saying that Chile is better than the Netherlands? Because I would disagree with you there. Plus they wouldn't be the number 1 ranked team in the Ivory Coast group, Columbia is ranked 4th in the world and are in that group.

Seriously though, they are a super team.

Australia will definitely put up a fight against Chile. I reckon we could get a win there...

The only prominent Chilean player I can think of off the top of my head is Alexis Sanchez.

Chile have Vidal as well, arguably one of the best players in Serie A.

Its a mates, not mine :P

But these FIFA rankings are actually awful. Dont take goal difference or homefield advantage into account. Hence Switz and Belgium ending up in pot 1 over Chile and France who are both much better teams.

Chile and France... better than Belgium? I'd beg to differ.

Also, hence why I said 'somebody'... didn't wanna say 'your' in case I was wrong.  ;)

France have been woeful for years :P They're better than us, but thats not saying much ;)
