I know, what have they done to achieve #4? Bet you the Fifa guys are trying to kiss up to the British tabloids so they'll back off on the corruption stories
. Also, how did Croatia get up so high, with teams like Mexico, Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay so low? I mean, don't get me wrong, Croatia is good, but they didn't even make the WC, barely advanced out of the EuroCup in 2008, yet are #8 overall? Top 15 for sure, but not top 10

Coentrao Closer to Exit after Training Ground Bust-Up
The left-back's relationship with coach Jorge Jesus looks to have broken down after a fall-out on Saturday as the Portuguese allowed his emotions to boil over.
Fabio Coentrao's future at Benfica appears to be short-lived after the Portugal international left-back fell out with current coach Jorge Jesus, inching closer to a move to Spanish giants Real Madrid.
Portuguese newspaper Correio da Manha reports that the two fell out in Saturday's training session and following a heated argument, the player walked out on his team-mates. Until now, Coentrao had acknowledged the interest from Madrid while stating that he was happy in Lisbon and had a great deal of respect for Benfica, whom he joined from Rio Ave back in 2007.
However, with a potential transfer to the Spanish capital stalling, the player has become frustrated, leading to the bust-up in training. Madrid are reportedly only ready to give Benfica €15 million and a player in exchange for Coentrao.
