the brazilian national side has obviously have not been playing great soccer. france has and is playing great soccer. they obviously deserve to be number 1. SO the brazilians win one game against argentina, they dont deserve it

Because the world rankings incorporate winning of tournaments throughout time. Is that easy enough to understand, they really hold no relevance as to who is the best team in the world.

Listen, Brasil is the best because in must win games i.e. Argentina they got the players that can win games.

Sure France did good at Euro 2000 but Brasil wasnt their. And people still see France as not beating Brasil and rather Brasil beating themselves in 1998.

the only reason why brazil lost the final against France was because france played at home i'm sure if they meet again Brazil will win sure france has quality players like
Zinedine Zidane, Thierry Henry, Robert Pires, David Trezeguet, but brazil has more quality players then every other team in the world

"The Italian National side made it farther than anybody expected. Everbody was against them except for the Italian fans. They proved that they deserved to be in the final. And they should have won the final. Italy controlled the game showing an early attack but the half dragged on. In the second it all opened up Italy pressed and Totti's cross is finished by Delvecchio. The half carries on and Del Piero who get subbed on has two glorious chances but failed to finish. Note he just came off injury and if had been the same Del Piero that had been playing the year before he would have finished them both. But no excuses he missed them both. But one question that I bet every Italian asked, where did the 4 minutes come from. Well, it was a very lucky goal, Toldo deserved to get it. But in extra time, Trezeguet's strike was nice, but Italy lost it. Delvecchio should have stayed on, and Albertini should have cleared the ball instead of passing it. Well Italy had it but lost it and France didnt win it."

Italy82 I will accept only if accept that Italy didnt deserve to get to Euro finals.

how could you say that Italy didnt deserve to be in the final. just because holland cant shoot doesnt mean that italy is lucky and didnt deserve to be in the final, that just show holland are unlucky and cant shoot they beat holland because of course they have a great defence, toldo is a great goalie and they absolutely played better even with a man down. if zambrotta didnt get the red italy would have won that game in 90 minutes

Pablo you dumb fuck i said that Brasil is ranked higher because more people think that regardless of a loss a team is still better.

Hey idiots if Perugia beats Juventus in one match which team should be ranked higher? Thats why Brasil is ranked higher.

I know France deserved to beat Brasil. But this you dummies asked why is Brasil still number one.

And except for you few Italian's still crying from 1994 the majority of neutral people still see Brasil as a better team. They still see France having won at home in one game.

While Brasil beat Argentina in Copa America and they are ranked number three France only had to beat a poor Italian team which has not preformed well since Bulgaria 1994.

Thats why Brasil is still ranked number one because over 100 international coaches around the world would not wanna face the yellow with the 11 best ready to go. France on the other hand have had a great pair of games against brasil and italy.

However many feel that next time should each side meet Brasil and France the result will be different.

juninhio, you have to pull your head out of your ass and realize that brazil doesnt deserve #1, france does. put aside your biasest towards brazil and wake up. first yeah brazil did beat argentina but argentina is right now the better team. and france didnt beat a lousy italian side, they beat a great team that deserved to win, and again i say that france didnt win euro, italy lost it, besides that your comparison is extremely wild. how could you make brazil = juventus and france =perugia. it should be brazil = juventus and france = lazio, lazio won the italian cup and the serie a league, juventus hasnt won anything. france deserves to be #1. you have to put aside your bias and accept the fact that brazil should be #2 or #3. im italian and i have accepted the fact that italy is 6th in the world but should be higher. so save your breathe and stop sticking up for brazil that doesnt deserve to be #1

Italia you dumb fuck I dont make the damn ranks professionals do. And they agree with my view that Brasil had a bad day 2 years ago and that the ranks are not based solely on one match but rather on team's players and their ability.

Look at bookmakers who stand to lose million if the quote odds wrong. They already have Brasil Argentina as 1 2 to win the world cup france is 3 and England 4.
