Wales have been overtaken by Faroe Islands in the World Rankings, and as a result will probably be in pot 6 for the World Cup qualifying draw later this month. :lol:
I know Wales have been playing poorly lately, but i'd still much rather face the Faroe Islands than them.

I'd say it's more strange than hilarious, the Welsh squad is not exactly awful. Bale, Ramsey, Bellamy, James Collins, Joe Ledley, and a few half decent premier league/championship players etc. It just seems they have developed a mentality that they are destined to never qualify for a major championship...

The Faroe Islands has a population of under 50,000...

They've been close twice over the last 20 years :roll: and also to be fair to them they've been to the same amount of world cups as N.Ireland.
Still shit tho! :lol:

To put that into perspective I think Wellingborough has a population of 90,000.

I would say England being number 4 is equally as strange

Just under 47,000, so Wellingborough is about the same as the Faroe's!

Fairly sure Wellingborough has about 70k... I know for a fact it had over 60k a few years ago so I don't see how it would have gone down....

72,519 is mentioned as being the 'best guess' on google. A figure quoted on various websites. There is no way it's as low as 47,000.
Still, I was way off ;) .
