Poland at 31 is criminal. With our current form we should be way lower.

Sad to say but Italy too high rn

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.

I know there’s an algorithm to determine this and it’s not exactly based on feelings, but damn, I don’t know anyone who’s watched England play recently that would say they’re the third best team in the world.

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

We also went toe to toe with England. It’s soccer, results are often mixed and sample size is always small.

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

maybe those teams should stop losing games in qualifying, that's really the only way belgium does it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Taking P6 from Portugal.

Love to see it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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

Uruguay went from rank 15 to rank 11 by beating brazil and argentina

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (3 children)

They should be around the top 5 IMO.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

A bit much considering Bielsa has only been there a short period, before that Uruguay hadn't been good in years

They went out in the group stage of the 2022 World Cup. Their ranking isn’t that crazy.

Diego Alonso

They are 7th on the Elo rankings

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (2 children)

They're quite easily a top 5 nation right now tbh

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

What a huge overreaction

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Perfect top 3, but the rest of the list is awful.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

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.

Portugal: won all games from EU qualifiers, 2goals conceded, CR7 2nd best scorer

FIFA: nah take -1 place

lmao

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Spongy team on top noice

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Portugal won every single Euro Qualifier game, and they drop a level?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

The +/- is only relative to last month's ranking, they dropped a level based on only beating Iceland and Liechtenstein since the last rankings update. Netherlands got more points for beating Ireland and Gibraltar.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Death, taxes, and Belgium in the top 5

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

San Marino still getting minus points even though they’re doing amazing for a team their calibre now…..

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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

Why did Portugal drop? Why isn't Uruguay top 10 Portugal 10/10 Uruguay beat Argentina and Brazil

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Somebody please tell me the last time Belgium made any waves at any tournament. Theyre trash.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Croatia can win the wc and still remain no. 10 nd Belgium can get knocked by Qatar and become top 2

Turkey should be on the top 30.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Portuguese speakers are the big losers here it would seem.
