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.
