Down To Fifth
USA has dropped a place to joint fifth (with Spain) in the new FIFA world rankings. Mexico have moved up to fourth, taking the “worlds most over-rated team” title from our happy-to-let go-of-it hands.
The good news is that we’ve moved up one to 14th in Bob’s equally arbitrary, but far more realistic World Cup Blog Power Rankings.

What I would like to know is why a whole slew of American pundits are calling the Mexicans the dark horses of the tournament? The US has soundly defeated Mexico at every opportunity outside of Mexico, and Mexico has never made it past the Round of 16 when it wasn’t the host. So why does a decent showing at a useless tournament carry so much weight?
Does anyone really think Mexico has a chance to make the semi-finals of this tournament?

The US may have been over rated in the rankings, but there is no way it should be behind Mexico. How many times does the US have to beat them to get the seed?
