Portugal ahead of Spain, that is awsome 8)

Yeah and Croatia are better than Portugal

Crotia def doesn't belong there, maybe 12th. Spain is in a perfect position.

All they need is to win big games. They have the talent, but I question there tactics.

End of November

1 Argentina 1523
2 Brazil 1502
3 Italy 1498
4 Spain 1349
5 Germany 1296
6 Czech Republic1290
7 France 1243
8 Portugal 1241
9 Holland 1170
10 Croatia 1129

Spain have jumped up to 4th. They've won a few games but I'm suprised they've jumped this high.

I don't think they're the 4th best team at the moment.
