1. Fifa rankings don't mean shit. Italy was 14th when it won in 2006. Also, France has something that Australia does not: a World Cup, and a second place finish. The furthest Australia ever got was...the quarters? If that?
Leaving emotion aside for a minute, what do you think the best way to rank teams is then?
And yes, the furthest we got was the round of 16, where we lost 1-0 in extra time to the team that eventually won. Not a bad effort, really.
