They were either 9 or 10 at the time of the draw.
Are you sure? I don't think that's right. I'm pretty sure seeding for that World Cup was based on rank, performance in 2002 (8th), and performance in 1998 (32nd). If we were even respectable in France we would have been seeded.

Yeah, you were right. The US was 5 or 6 in the run-up to the seeding and would have been a 1 instead of Argentina, but they used a different formula then.
Maybe they were 9 or 10 at the start of the World Cup, and I was confusing the two rankings.
And yes, I am completely baffled how 14th Switzerland overtakes 9th Netherlands, 4th Italy, and 11th Greece in a matter of 2 games.
