    The fact that Belgium is fourth in front of Croatia, Spain, and Italy proves this ranking is nonsense.

      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.

      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.

    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.
