First time in history. Fifa ranking officially redeemed.
so the worst brazil in history is still the facto the 5th best team in the world? ufff
>>156690340its almost as if they carefully rigged the draw to make sure it was achieved
>>156690403we're not even top 10 nigga
>France & Argentina: 2022 finalists>Spain & England: 2024 finalistsNot really sure why anyone is surprised.
>>156690340Only because they literally rigged it so those 4 wouldn't face each others until semis. They made it so they were in opposite groups on purpose.
>>156690446it uses this same ranking for the draw of course the top teams have benefits, same as any competition
>>156690446Anon finds out what seeding is
>>156690403its grim. England are not exactly great and yet we are 4th in the world? international football has never been this bad
>>156690446>>156690476It's called seeding. Have you retards never watched any sport before?
>>156690558no shit Sherlock.FIFA can still set up the draw with seeding so paths to keep two teams apart until the last four. you should be concerned you cant see how they are doing it.
>>156690340Because these are updated while the tournamebt is ongoing?
>>156690683>FIFA specifically placed the top four ranked teams Argentina, Spain, France, and England into separate tournament quadrants>The system guaranteed that none of these four teams could face each other prior to the semi-finals, provided they won their respective groupsThey did it on purpose because they were afraid a WC with 48 teams could end up with 2 or 3 shitters in the semis. I think only Argentina had an easy and debatable path. All the other WC champions + Netherlands shit the bed and don't deserve to be there.
>>156690695top 4 didn't change, just france going from 3 to 1
>>156690340most rigged soulless shit ever, thanks
>>156691190did they rig it for germany to be incompetent against paraguay? did they rig it for brazil to shit the bed against norway? did they rig it for portugal to finish second in their group?
