oh, i'm still undeated using england (ranking: 3rd) in fifa world cup 2002 on the x-box. however, i had to downgrade to a lesser team because i was killing carlin, et al. so i played china (ranking: 38th) and got plastered 5-nil. played with south africa (ranking: 28th) with the outcome of 4-1, me on the losing side. finally, i used denmark (ranking: 16th) and was able to surpass carlin's english side, 5-1. so i'm thinking i should use the US (ranking: 21th) which should level out the playing field.

the english side is awesome on fifa 2002. owen, heskey, gerrod, scholes, beckham, etc. just plain unbeatable. at the end, carlin played tony, england vs. france (ranking: 1st) respectively. i'm happy to report that the three lions came out on top. GO ENGLAND!
