Poland at 31 is criminal. With our current form we should be way lower.
For people asking why is one team rated higher than others, here’s the calculation method:
It still surprises me how hard Germany have fallen off over the previous 5 years
for me its Belgium… the team have no business to be top10 . let alone top4…
Sad to say but Italy too high rn
Why did Portugal drop? Why isn’t Uruguay top 10 Portugal 10/10 Uruguay beat Argentina and Brazil
All these people who dont know how rankings work. Smh
WhY iS bElGiUm So HiGh?
Why is Belgium always so high even when they play shity
I’ve always wondered that
Portugal: won all games from EU qualifiers, 2goals conceded, CR7 2nd best scorer
FIFA: nah take -1 place
lmao
Portugal won every single Euro Qualifier game, and they drop a level?
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.
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
Winning against Lichensteinbourg counts as 0.001 points
Uruguay went from rank 15 to rank 11 by beating brazil and argentina
They’re quite easily a top 5 nation right now tbh
What a huge overreaction
They didn’t look that in Qatar tbf.
Not like we had Bielsa back then
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.
Diego Alonso
A bit much considering Bielsa has only been there a short period, before that Uruguay hadn’t been good in years
We had a problematic transition between generations. Suárez, Cavani and Godín were far from their peak by 2020. And Valverde, Bentancur, Ugarte, and Araujo were still green.
I always liked Bielsa, but the raw material and base level of every football team are set by the quality of the players.
Position by position, this is the best generation of Uruguayan players at the very least since 1990.
They are 7th on the Elo rankings
Perfect top 3, but the rest of the list is awful.
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.
and now Malaysia are at 130. fucking love my country ❤🇲🇾
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
It tracks the past 12 months I think, with a weird formula awarding points. It was never a relevant ranking
Croatia 10th. Wales 29th. And Turkey 37th??
Turkey should be on the top 30.
