Poland at 31 is criminal. With our current form we should be way lower.
Death, taxes, and Belgium in the top 5
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.
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.
The fact that Belgium is fourth in front of Croatia, Spain, and Italy proves this ranking is nonsense.
maybe those teams should stop losing games in qualifying, that’s really the only way belgium does it
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
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…
The DFB is symbolic of many things that go wrong in Germany, for example in politics. Corrupt, incompetent and detached from the rest of society.
“Die Mannschaft” tells you everything you need to know.
I was about to say the same thing, bizarre how far Germany have fallen
Uruguay went from rank 15 to rank 11 by beating brazil and argentina
They should be around the top 5 IMO.
They are 7th on the Elo rankings
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 went out in the group stage of the 2022 World Cup. Their ranking isn’t that crazy.
Diego Alonso
They’re quite easily a top 5 nation right now tbh
They didn’t look that in Qatar tbf.
Not like we had Bielsa back then
What a huge overreaction
For people asking why is one team rated higher than others, here’s the calculation method:
