@Carlos – while I agree that over history I wouldn’t say Holland is a better footballing country than Brazil (is anyone??), and I also agree that the Fifa rankings are somewhat of a joke, they are really only taking into account recent years with the emphasis on most recent results, and Brazil hasn’t been that impressive recently, so that’s the reason for the slide… I guess.

Brazil doesn’t always exactly play very good football, I believe there isn’t that much difference. Although Brasil do have a lot more choice, look at their options for right back alone:Maicon, Dani Alves, Cicinho and i think Belletti is also Brasilian, we only have Kromkamp, Melchiot, Zuiverloon, Tiendalli as real right backs. Despite this list being not very accurate, Oranje is in fact one of the best teamss in the world, it just hasn’t yet really showed in their play.

As I said previously…No self respecting Oranje fan would claim Holland is a better footballing side than Brazil …Fifa ratings are a joke if Australia plays 12 matches in a row against their Pacific neighbours over the next 2 weeks and win 8-0, on average, they will also climb to the No1 spot.
By the way I am tired of complimenting Jan on his stories, Just Jealous of the incredible information he always seems to have on his fingertips !!!
