Isn't there some weird algorithm to do with the ranking of the teams beaten? Uruguay beat Portugal in the WC who were ranked 4th at the time. The highest ranked side we beat was Sweden who were 11th at the time.
After our World Cup exploits, England have moved up to the giddy heights of 6th in the FIFA World rankings.
Before anyone poo-poos that, yes I know FIFA rankings are not exactly the most accurate reflection of football prowess, but hey, still nice to see.
England up to 6th
