Phil, I'm quoting from the Sunday Mail which says" when the latest FIFA rankings are unveiled" that will be both our positions.

Maybe their wrong :confused:

I think the latest rankings arent unveild until Sep the 14th - but im not sure how they are worked out as there has been no competitive games since the last lot have been released - but there aresome games before then so not sure how it can be known until those results are known ?

Yeah i have read - just trying to figure out how the figures are known a month ahead of them being announced and before results of a EC qualifier is known ?

They are worked out before they are published so they'll already know which points are going on, dropping off etc. - the same as Golf and Tennis world rankings etc.

Yeah just going through the procedure and looking at the last 12 months - England lose points gained last September ( a win and a draw ) and Scotland only lose one victory - but its all subject to what happens in the next couple of games - if Scotland beat Germany they could leap up into the top 20 but lose and they dont lose any points. England have two games - win both and they only gain 20 points.

England being low is a very true reflection of their current standing.

Apparently Scotland have never been above England in the FIFA rankings since they started. I wonder if that will change when we beat you in November?

Would be a very good chance of being above England if that was too happen. Prob would also be the final nail in the coffin for Hodgson
 
I can't see you beating Germany. No way no how. That said, I do think there's a chance you could beat England. I like the way Scotland are progressing and if England don't turn up mentally, a regular occurrence these days, it could be a good night to be Scottish
