I don't get how you overtook them. Ok, France have been awful in recent years but at least they've been qualifying. Russia went to Euro 2008 and Greece won the thing 4 years before.
Well done though. I love a bit of Norway
Well, it's down to results more than just qualifying. We were inches away from the WC (worst 2nd placed team) and have played well since Drillo came back as manager often beating better sides. Think we've 14-3-6 since he took over (home 7-1-1 away 7-2-5), beating the likes of France, Germany, Portugal who at the time were way above us on the FIFA ranking thus gaining us more points.
