Poland at 31 is criminal. With our current form we should be way lower.
HERE WE GO BOYS
Brace for the millions of “wHy ArE bElGiUm So HiGh” comments!
The fact that Belgium is fourth in front of Croatia, Spain, and Italy proves this ranking is nonsense.
maybe those teams should stop losing games in qualifying, that’s really the only way belgium does it
Perfect top 3, but the rest of the list is awful.
It’s not a subjective list, it’s just a rating based on the latest results from the teams. It’s a mathematical formula, not something to be taken as a definitive ranking.
Uruguay went from rank 15 to rank 11 by beating brazil and argentina
They’re quite easily a top 5 nation right now tbh
What a huge overreaction
They didn’t look that in Qatar tbf.
Not like we had Bielsa back then
They should be around the top 5 IMO.
They went out in the group stage of the 2022 World Cup. Their ranking isn’t that crazy.
Diego Alonso
A bit much considering Bielsa has only been there a short period, before that Uruguay hadn’t been good in years
We had a problematic transition between generations. Suárez, Cavani and Godín were far from their peak by 2020. And Valverde, Bentancur, Ugarte, and Araujo were still green.
I always liked Bielsa, but the raw material and base level of every football team are set by the quality of the players.
Position by position, this is the best generation of Uruguayan players at the very least since 1990.
They are 7th on the Elo rankings
It still surprises me how hard Germany have fallen off over the previous 5 years
I was about to say the same thing, bizarre how far Germany have fallen
The DFB is symbolic of many things that go wrong in Germany, for example in politics. Corrupt, incompetent and detached from the rest of society.
“Die Mannschaft” tells you everything you need to know.
for me its Belgium… the team have no business to be top10 . let alone top4…
Taking P6 from Portugal.
Love to see it
Yeah we deserved to go down since we lost and drew so many games in 2023 lmao
Winning against Lichensteinbourg counts as 0.001 points
How did portugal go down? Literally won every single game this year.
They again got the esiest group. Its not hard to beat farmers and blacksmiths from lihtenstein.
Portugal: won all games from EU qualifiers, 2goals conceded, CR7 2nd best scorer
FIFA: nah take -1 place
lmao
For people asking why is one team rated higher than others, here’s the calculation method:
r/soccer HATES HIM
this TEAM has been TOP 5 for YEARS, despite NOT winning ANYTHING!
Local team from non-country exposes shocking ranking secret! Learn this one weird trick FIFA doesn’t want you to know!
San Marino still getting minus points even though they’re doing amazing for a team their calibre now……
Sad to say but Italy too high rn
I know FIFA rankings don’t mean much, or at least people shouldn’t think too much of them. But they’re fun to look at for some reason
Everyone thinks the rankings are claiming to be a current super accurate representation of all teams. It’s not. When you use them as a relative gauge and think in terms if +/- 5 spots accuracy, they are much better. Is Croatia actually, exactly #10 in the world? Probably not. But are they between 5 and 15? Absolutely. They are better if you think in terms of a range.
Death, taxes, and Belgium in the top 5
