Australia are good, but we didn't dominate the likes of Brazil, Italy etc.
Wow It was 0-0 then Italy got a controverisal penalty, who cares, they dominated the whole game and deserved to win.
Australia deserved to be like 22nd. Thank you, someone that is finally about to get over the incident and tell it how it really went down, spot on. Plus no one brings up the Materazzi Red Card, that was a Yellow at best.

I suspect you will not agree that Italy didn't "deserve" to win the final - unfortunatelty the record shows otherwise. PS - when are you moving to Italy?

But England and Argentina under rated, each should be up 4 or so spots
Croatia vastly over rated, I think they should be around 19th and why is that? because england did so well at the last euro's?

When i have enough money i will be gonskies, but for now i live in Melbourne and am very happy here. As for the WC Final, who cares, Italy won and were the best side all tournament and thoroughly deserved their 4th World Cup. Period.

Italy only drew with the United States 1-1, with De Rossi i think it was sent off, so to get a draw was a good result. Also against Germany in the Semi they should have won it earlier. Spain were very good in the Group Stages, but France truly outclassed them in the 2nd Round game, deserving 3-1 winners.

There is about 5 or 6 teams above us that i think we are better then. With the world cup qualifers coming up we should slowly move up the rankings

While beating the likes of Qatar and Bahrain are not going to launch us 10 places up at once, winning these games (which we should be winning) will gain us valuable points....playing games in asia are a good opportunity to build those points - 4 years ago we were hardly playing any games, particularly WCQ's, so we have the chance to pick up lots of ranking points due to the cyclical nature of the rankings by beating these lower asian teams.
