Rivalry Watch

Literally read the first paragraph and it shows how stupid FIFA rankings are. The USA being fourth in the world? I would argue that the Socceroos have a bigger legacy than the USMNT in terms of individual players, our 2006 team was one of the greatest non-CONMEBOL/UEFA teams in history.

Agreed. Though think FIFA have changed the way they calculate rankings since then.

Even just looking at club names, we pale in comparison to Japan.

I still see them more of a team of individuals. Very tricky trying to pack all that talent into one. It's like England. They need to find the best team rather than players.

England will probably do well in the group stage before inevitably choking when knockout football rolls around, and I'd be surprised if Tuchel ends up taking them all the way given their less than favourable record in major tournaments in recent times.

Recent results for ENG at last two World Cups and Euros are better than you may think:
2018 WC semi-finals
2022 WC quarter-finals
2020 Euros finalists
2024 Euros finalists
It's been a long time since 1966, but they're 4th in the world in latest FIFA rankings, and also 4th in ELO rankings. There's this weird English tradition of the fans being ridiculously hyped before every WC and then almost enjoying the inevitable collective misery in the pubs post-game!

No “champions” in there though.

as much as we enjoy giving it to them I sure wouldn't mind having that record and host of talented players to pool from.
Yes they always over hype the passion good on them but its great banter when they fall lol........

Crazy to see the level some of these players play at already. I don't rate Beckhaus at all in goal for Bremen but this is what they do in throwing kids into goal to develop them.
