Why does everyone assume 1 game makes a change that will ripple anything? Your dealing with a lot of numbers over now 10 games. And to be honest it did change a lot. At this point in the season for a team to lose over 3 points in standing (which Angola made USA do from an amost 38 overall ranking score to now under 25) that is a lot to lose. just happens that the other numbers didnt make much change to the overall rankings. Will look closer at numbers if its needed but I did see the change. Just so happens that other things still work to USA's favor atm.
Edit: USA has the second most scored, second fewest allowed (Coyotes #1 in both) and they have the second highest SoS compared to the other top teams. Only Durban has a Slightly higher edge.
By contrast and this is nothing against Angola but you have the worst pts for, second only to mali for scored against and tied with mali for the lowest SoS of the top teams.
