Friday Funny - FIFA Rankings

FIFA's latest rankings are out and have led to much mirth among observers for the apparent oddity of England being ranked 4th, above Brazil.

In case you were somehow duped into believing that the official FIFA world rankings held any semblance of meaning or value at all, this should clear things up for you. In this totally real and not photoshopped screenshot of the latest FIFA rankings, that's England sitting fourth. Ahead of Brazil.
But The Fiver gets the best line from a contributor:
"England fourth in the world rankings? Yeah, like we needed further evidence of Fifa's incompetence" - John Young.
Before you laugh too hard, remember that FIFA has the US at 24th, so perhaps there is a bit more truth to the rankings after all ;-)
