The FIFA World Rankings is a ranking system for men's national teams in Association football, currently led by Brazil. The teams of the member nations of FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association), football's world governing body, are ranked based on their game results with the most successful teams being ranked highest. The rankings were introduced in 1992, and six teams (Argentina, Brazil, France, Germany, Italy and Spain) have held the top position, of which Brazil have spent longest ranked first.
A point system is used, with points being awarded based on the results of FIFA-recognised international matches. Under the existing system, rankings are based on a team's performance over the last four years, with more recent results and more significant matches being more heavily weighted to help reflect the current competitive state of a team.

this is from wikipedia, the fifa world ranking is legit, and rightfully, fifa is the world governing body of footall

yeah why is USA ranked over greece? its easy to qualify for the world cup if your opposition is barbados and guatemala, they should make usa play european teams in order to qualify for the world cup

Yep, agree 100% with this

but i like greece -132 tonight vs north korea ,
game is played on neutral court and greece has to win this game to build some confidence for the upcoming world cup.
Line seems to be a bit too low imo.
