that ranking system is a steaming pile of shite.
Not that I'm saying the USA are a rubbish team, I expect they're not too bad, but the rankings are flawed and damaging to smaller nations in Europe and I'm sure S America too, where the standards are high - the lower you dip in the rankings (based on friendlies and in comparison to teams in weak confederations) the lower you go down the seeding system for qualification and the harder it all gets. Killing the chances for smaller nations.
Yeah that does mean Scotland, who are undeniably shite, but not the 85th worst team in the world. All down to friendlies, a slide of 60ish places and only lost 3 or 4 competative games in as many years (potentialy dodgy stat ;\)
