The point of the rankings like this is that you try to value all matches as equally as possible and don't give bonus points equal to shit ton of matches for winning one random match just because it's some kind of final.
A Cheeky 27th, I'll take it.
CocaCola?!?! No no no, ACQUA!!!

Obrigado
USA 11th in FIFA, 26th in Elo
Always tend to defer to the Elo over FIFA...
What's elo?
Ronaldo is a piece of human excrement
Belgium have been top 5 for 85 years
in this thread: people who dont understand how the fifa ranking works. (its really not that hard guys, win matches consistently and you rise in rank)
‘Who should we put on the graphic?’
‘Just put a player of the team that came 6th, why not’
I think 7th place is pretty justified. We have a lot of quality players but we can't seem to convincingly win against anyone in top ~20
I'd say England have best chance to win anything now. The argue/Brazil squads are not really got those tough/superstar players. Apart fromFrance I fancy England bet most teams nowadays
Scotland having the their best qualification campaign ever, including beating Spain, and still stuck in the mid-30s.
24th in ELO. Which is probably a fairer reflection at the current time.
I would have Japan near the top 10.
siuuuuu
It’s not shown in this graphic but USA at #11 is WILD.
I know it’s been said too many times but genuinely why are Belgium on this list? They made the WC semis one time, and nothing else.
Try winning every qualifier game, it's not that hard. Maybe the teams below should give it a go
As a Brazilian, get Brazil outta there. We'd lose to Chelsea today.
#How is US of A at 11th?
because they do well in concacaf and also got to the knockouts at the world cup.
12th - 16th is pretty fair.
The year is 2078. What's left of humanity is still recovering from the nuclear war decades ago. Cristiano's face is still plastered everywhere.
The fact we [belgium] are still in the top 5 is hilarious.
What do you guys think of the Netherlands being 7th?
Rip Germany
Did anyone else briefly see Sacha Baron Cohen when this came through the feed? Maybe i've been watching too many movies lately.
Martinez is well on his way to become 1st in the FIFA rankings again, just to fail miserably at the important tournaments.
Belgium are the biggest frauds. Hard to believe they’ve done next to nothing with the squad they’ve had
But-bu-but-Portugal is weak and needs Ronaldo to even sniff top 10 😢
Been a Brasil supporter for decades but I truly don't understand how the F are they ranked 3rd atm? They haven't been doing well in the WC qualifications and even lost in recent friendlies against 2 African nations.
What more does the us have to do to be top 10?
FIFA rankings are pretty shit but the US is nowhere near a top 10 country at the moment
Ok, but I don’t see Albania there
Something’s terribly wrong with Belgium and Italy 😂
Brazil should really have been better last WC
Brazil feels overrated here
If we boot Belgium, it’s actually pretty accurate
What's NL still doing here, we've been dog.
Not sure why England are 4th. Have shown they bottle it vs anyone decent & play boring football. Their own fans want the manager gone.
We just beat 9th place Italy 3-1...
Sweden above Austria is fucking hilarious considering Austria destroyed us every game in this qualifier
Roberto martinez really lives for this shitty ranking right?
We still play like shit.
Italy sitting in 9th place even after not having qualified for the WC or winning the euros. Meanwhile Morocco……
If you had like say a talent competition or something or say an Olympic event…how many of those would advertise it with a cut out of the guy who came 6th?
More media frenzy on the chances about England winning a competitive competition. 4th in the rankings= a semi at least.🤦♂️
