Portugal with one of the best qualifying runs in history, -1 rank. Sick rating soda company
Perfect top 3, but the rest of the list is awful.
Uruguay went from rank 15 to rank 11 by beating brazil and argentina
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.
A bit much considering Bielsa has only been there a short period, before that Uruguay hadn’t been good in years
They’re quite easily a top 5 nation right now tbh
They didn’t look that in Qatar tbf.
The fact that Belgium is fourth in front of Croatia, Spain, and Italy proves this ranking is nonsense.
Argentina #1 just like the amount of penalties awarded out of all teams in the 22 WC
How are Belgium so high when they do fuck all in tournaments
It still surprises me how hard Germany have fallen off over the previous 5 years
How are Brazil 5th? They are terrible
I don’t think the ranking system measures only current form, it’s probably tracking past history while slowly dropping the importance the farther back you go
I think if they somehow keep doing bad in the qualifiers next year, then you’ll really see their ranking drop off faster
Why is Belgium always so high even when they play shity
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
Poland at 31 is criminal. With our current form we should be way lower.
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
USA sitting at 12 and I’m still not buying it
I think we’re overrated by beating up on some of the island nations in CONCACAF. Netherlands handled them with ease for there to be only 6 spots ahead of the US
Portugal won every single Euro Qualifier game, and they drop a level?
How did portugal go down? Literally won every single game this year.
