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.

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

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
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
S E G U N D O F R A N C I A
Actually curious how Portugal dropped? Havent lost a game in Euro qualifs
Portugal: won all games from EU qualifiers, 2goals conceded, CR7 2nd best scorer
FIFA: nah take -1 place
lmao
For people asking why is one team rated higher than others, here's the calculation method:
HERE WE GO BOYS
Brace for the millions of "wHy ArE bElGiUm So HiGh" comments!
r/soccer HATES HIM
this TEAM has been TOP 5 for YEARS, despite NOT winning ANYTHING!
Local team from non-country exposes shocking ranking secret! Learn this one weird trick FIFA doesn't want you to know!
San Marino still getting minus points even though they’re doing amazing for a team their calibre now…..
Spongy team on top noice
Why did Portugal drop? Why isn't Uruguay top 10 Portugal 10/10 Uruguay beat Argentina and Brazil
and now Malaysia are at 130. fucking love my country ❤🇲🇾
Sad to say but Italy too high rn
Death, taxes, and Belgium in the top 5
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

Somebody please tell me the last time Belgium made any waves at any tournament. Theyre trash.
They sure win a lot of games for a team that is trash
Someone has no clue how the ranking works
TOP 6 BABYYYY WOOOHOOOO 🇳🇱🇳🇱👉🦁👈⚽⚽🧡🧡🧡
25th LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO
5th place to celebrate 5 World Cups baby!!!
(I wanna die 😭)
Croatia can win the wc and still remain no. 10 nd Belgium can get knocked by Qatar and become top 2
Portuguese speakers are the big losers here it would seem.
