I don't agree Germany will beat both Italy & England. Italy has always been Germany's bogeyman team, so I think 1W and 1D is more likely than 2 wins this month. Colombia will likely win both qualifying games, which should propel them to 4th in April's rankings.
ReplyDeleteBelgium are in a tricky spot - regardless of their result v Portugal, they will no longer be #1 in the world. Even with a win they would go down to 1423 pts, probably replaced by Argentina at the top.
Chile have an excellent chance to take 1st in the fifa rankings for the first time ever, if they win at home v Argentina. A golden opportunity that is not unrealistic.
Greece are moveing up thel be back in top 16 soon and possibly top ten again
ReplyDeleteEverything OK there, Darren?
DeleteWhere is Portugal-Belgium from 29th March?
ReplyDeleteIt was Belgium - Portugal before the attacks.
