U.S. Soccer Falls to 23 in FIFA Rankings
August 16th, 2006 by Levi MatthewsBrace yourselves, American soccer fans, you both may be upset about the following news:
After rising as high as number-five in the FIFA monthly rankings earlier this year, the United States has dropped all the way down to 23. For Michael Jordan and LeBron James? A quality number. For world soccer rankings? Not so much.
Brazil remained at the top, despite not even making this year’s World Cup final. Italy, Argentina, France and England rounded out the top five.
Now that the U.S. has fired Bruce Arena, perhaps we’ll fare better in 2010. Maybe Freedie Adu will make the squad. Maybe critics around the world can stop criticizing Americans for only caring about soccer every four years. It’s not like they ever care about the NFL!
