    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.

    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.

    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.

        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.

    The fact that Belgium is fourth in front of Croatia, Spain, and Italy proves this ranking is nonsense.

    Italy? #9? When they literally should’ve been eliminated by Ukraine from Euros 2024 if not for incompetent refereeing? Completely negates any legitimacy this list had………but that’s FIFA for ya
