FIFA selects the top teams and pre-seeds them into a group.  They then do a random drawing based on regions to fill in the rest of the seeds in the group.  The interesting thing is that this year they preseeded all the traditional teams even though many of them are playing poorly and were seeded infront of teams that are playing well and are seeded in the top 10!  The other interesting thing...and what no one seems to have figured out...is how FIFA is able to do a live random drawing and still FIX the drawing...it is an amazing feat...but one that every true soccer fans understands as being true!

brazil is ranked number one but that doesn't mean that they are.  Watch our for the number 2 ranked Germany.  They have an unbelievable goalie.  Voted best goalie 3 years in a row.... in the world!!!

they are definitely not the 4th best soccer nation in the world. the ranking has never been so far from the actual quality of soccer' nation for as long as I have been following it (about 10 years!), they really need to fix it for it to reflect better the actual ranking in between nations or just stop with this non sense that they call ranking, teams don't even play against the same quality of opponents to start with so................

Ghana is going to beat Brazil on Tuesday.Don't forget that this "weaker team" beat the number 2 and 5 ranked teams in the world.If we beat the number 2 why can't we beat the number 1.

According to FIFA (The governing body of Pro Soccer) Argentina is the 4th best team in the world. Germany is ranked 22nd. Try not to read too deep into these ranks though. The USA was suppossed to be #5 and failed to freach the last 16.

The FIFA World Rankings is a ranking system for national teams in football (soccer). The teams of the member nations of FIFA, football's world governing body, are ranked based on their game results with the most successful teams being ranked highest. A point system is used, with points being awarded based on the results of matches played in FIFA-recognized international competitions. Under the existing system, rankings are based on a team's performance over the last eight years, with more recent results being more heavily weighted to help reflect the current competitive state of a team. Teams delivering consistently good performances tend to be more highly ranked, and the system currently in use is somewhat slow to respond to significant changes in a team's performance. A new baseline of calculation, which will only consider results over a shorter four year period, will be introduced in July 2006.

Portugal is good team, and as Fifa released today its new ranking. Portugal has advanced 2 positions and now figures as 8th. right now I say a legimate contender but small
1014995
that ranking is absolutely rubbish, how can USA & MEXICO ranked higher that ENGLAND, ITALY or NETHERLANDS. even GERMANY is now ranked 19. FIFA should changed the system immediately.

The rankings goes like this ( I'm talking in general not this group)\n1- greatest number of points obtained in all group matches. (obvious)\n2- goal difference in all group matches.\n3- greatest number of goals scored in all group matches.\n\nIF two or more teams are equal on the basis of the above then we go to the following:\n\na) greatest number of points obtained in the group matches between\nthe teams concerned;\nb) goal difference resulting from the group matches between the\nteams concerned;\nc) greater number of goals scored in all group matches between the\nteams concerned;\nd) drawing of lots by the Organising Committee for the FIFA World Cup

There is an Official World Cup Ranking where Teams get ranked according to their performances in the Cup. (Stage reached, wins, losses,draws, goals scored and conceded).\nWhile this list is not the official World Ranking it does have a bearing on the overall list. For example Australia's performance will mean a dramatic rise in ranking but they may not be in World top 16.
