PaddockLad 17661 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Brazil aren't pulling up any trees tbh...piss poor way of measuring things, but England are 7th in the Fifa rankings, Brazil are 19th.

aimaad22 4222 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 So Hughes says on his appointment that he's looking to get consistently into the top 10.

Billy Whitehurst 933 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I really didn't think England were that bad, but I do confess to only having watched Newcastle this season so my views may be distorted. They were shite, the passing was awful. England have been shite years though. Jack Wilshere will make a difference once fit. The fact that I'm pinning my hopes on an injury prone 21 year old tells you all you need to know. We are one of the many second tier also ran countries behind the first tier of Spain, Germany, Holland and Argentina. The gulf between the first and second tier is huge though. That said, still much better than the dross Newcastle usually offer up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 31209 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 No need to worry about Brazil, the game has been suspended due to the maracana once again being fucked. But obviously they're more deserving WC hosts than England Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
