FIFA Rankings are Absurd Ex. # 1,000,000,000

FIFA released their latest national team rankings. At the very top it is about right for the most part and a case can be made for the teams in the single digits. And then... Egypt is supposedly the tenth best national team in the world. Okay. Yes I know they just won the third rate ACoN again but seriously, who cares? This is a team that failed to qualify for the upcoming world cup (and the last one, and the one before that, and the one before that, etc) playing in a region that has never sent a squad as far as a world cup semi-final. Can anyone name an Egyptian player that has an impact role on a team that will legitimately challenge for a title in Spain, England, or Italy this year? Or the Champion's League?
