Fair call, but I was more in reference to the US top 5 ranking despite having little to no talent.

The favourable decisions that FIFA grants out to certain nations has repeatedly not included Australia - from the qualification system to the supposed change to give Oceania a single place, to taking that away (leaving it still as the only region not to be represented automatically), to now four referee dramas in a row.

Perhaps if FIFA were genuinely interested in the Fair Play it preaches things would be different. Unfortunately Fair Play doesn't include certain nations.
