Yes... it is a fair ranking. U.S. MNT have some good teams comming up in the next couple months. If they win those games they should be in the top 10 no doubt.
GO USA!
are we really supposed to believe the draw for the confed cup was random? FIFA is doing everything it can to give S Africa a chance to get thru. I just hope we don't get screwed again in the draw for the world cup.
Team USA should clock in at around 28, which is entirely respectable. The ratings are bogus, and the only results that truly matter are those in the World Cup.
