One last time before the World Cup the powers at FIFA have laid out their rankings of every national team in the world. But more importantly: in the process they’ve ranked the World Cup teams from 1-32.
There haven’t been any big leaps – Ecuador dropping off the mountain 8 spots is the biggest mover, but that’s of no interest – and the only change in the top 15 is that Egypt moved up to make 10, 11 & 12 a nice trifecta of World Cup absentees.
The World Cup, one to thirty-two, after the jump.
For those wondering, Cape Verde is 114th – far better than expected and not all that far behind North Korea. What’s that smell? Is…is that an upset?
