Two or more PNG uploads don't work because the software doesn't take you back to "add attachment" but works fine with JPGs.

Gosh!

Ten-fold lower.

With that ranking, I would expect the population of Brisbane to be 10 times smaller than that of Cyprus ...

It's only because the Australian Clubs can't play in tournaments such as UEFA Champions League so there really is no way to rank them.

The key test is if a Cypriot Club can beat them, and with 30 million signings such as Spanish Striker David Villa and Italy's Alessandro Del Piero + loan players from English Premier League Clubs and affiliates, there is no chance Cypriot Sides will be able to even come close.

Oh, well, look at that! The population of Brisbane is two times larger than that of Cyprus. So, Cypriots must be TWENTY TIMES better at football than the Brisbanees.

Yes of course you are, but the Australian Clubs have 10 times bigger budgets so that must make them 10 times worse again.

Plus, they have pure pedigree such as Villa and Del Piero and what not, but the Cypriots are better by about 100 times! :lol:

It's just a point system, and the clubs with more points are those that play more games against foreign teams from other countries such as in a tournament like the UEFA Champions League.

Well, well well....
Lemmings say a club from tiny Cyprus surely cannot be ranked in the top 59 on the planet.
Simply impossible, must be some kind of mistake.

Think about it!

There are 20 teams in the EPL alone. Even the last team would and should have a higher rank than Cypriot Teams, but that is not the case. Then add all the clubs in Seria A, Bundeslige, Spain, Portugal, and more, and Apoel should be 100 places lower just from those countries alone.

A bit of reality please! :lol:

Oh yes there it! Don’t open your stupid mouth if you don’t know how something works but ASK.

Learn to ASK that which you don’t know or understand instead of manufacturing baloney!

FIFA knows EXACTLY how to accurately rank clubs from all over the world; the formulas/calculations of which are available for all to peruse on their websites.
