It's exactly the same situation as in the Euro and we already know how that ended.

Portugal was the shittiest 5th rank I've ever seen, and I just started watching soccer

>Norway (31)

Very misleading, they're a top 10 team

>>156702214
So were Morocco and Norway B-teams.

>>156702158
So you are saying that Spain is the only non fraud nation and that is the team we all should fear of?

>>156702158
I've said it since day 1. Spain wins 2-1 or 1-0 in 2 days and then also wins the final. Their team play and midfield will prove too much to handle. Flashy ngubu football losses to Spains football in the end

>>156702241
It evens out with Mexico being 15 when it should be around 50.

>>156702158
Fifa ranking seems to be absolute shit besides maybe the top 3 or 4. How are we somehow in the top 20?

DR Congo im CIA

>>156702251
>Morocco
That was actually Morocco B-team too. 8 of Moroccos starters were injured. They were playing without an attacker because 3 of their starting attackers were injured. France hasnt faced a serious team yet

>>156702158
these "bad" teams had to eliminate better teams to even get this far in the competition
if the 40th rated team eliminates the 2nd team, then england faces that team, does that mean they caught a lucky break? but then the 2nd rated team is also complete shit for having lost to the 40th team in the first place

>>156702158
>norway 31
they are 19 though
i feel like they should've counted rank WHEN THEY PLAYED

>argentina sweated to beat Cabo Verde, Egypt and Switzerland with 10 players
And they still think they won't get bootyblasted by England? Falklands 3.0 is over before it started.

Use elo ranking, it is more reliable. At the start of WC Spain's opponents were:
21st, 6th, 15th.
France's:
33rd, 20th, 22nd
England's:
37th, 18th, 11th
Argentina's:
41st, 34th, 17th

>>156702297
And the French struggled to score their first goal against Morocco, and keep in mind Morocco's defense is shit in comparison to Spain's.
We're truly heading for some reckoning on Tuesday.

>>156702487
what are the avg, im bad at math

>>156702487
Using ELO rankings, here are the ratios (lower number: harder path, etc.):
>Spain - 14
>England - 22
>France - 25
>Argentina - 31

Norway are underrated and we had to play Mexico at their home stadium

>>156702601
here >>156702601

>>156702601
Spain 14, France 25, England 22, Argentina 31

>>156702158
>>156702487
You should probably use the average Elo rating instead of the average world ranking for comparisons like this desu

>>156702401
We are being set up for a humiliation ritual.
Even if we don't lose to Englel there is no way we are beating France.

>>156702158
you play the occasion, not the rank. argentina-cape verde was a far harder match than france-sweden.

>Mexico 15
>Belgium 9

>Morocco 8

Not saying we didn't have it easier but that ranking is trash.

>>156702709
Already done with the ELO ranking (>>156702654
>>156702628)

Keep with your copium

>>156702688
This is true Cape Verde played their asses off.
Struggling against Egypt or Swiss was more on our own team playing terribly but Cape Verde was a great opponent which is why it was one of the best games of the WC.

Spain and Uruguay couldn't beat them btw.

>>156702752

Spain drew 0-0 against CV in the regular 90 minutes, with a B team dominating the entire match; Spain just couldn't find the net.

Argentina, on the other hand, well, we all know what happened there.

im surprised penaldo fags are going for this narrative,if urugay actually tried it was argentina vs spain really early and if portugal ended first on their group it was argentina vs portugal yesterday
but of course argentina so powerful that we rig other countries results now kek

>>156702158
so happy to know Spain faced Cape Verde and won 5-0, that image really speaks VOLUMES

We are winning this shit

>>156702158
These rankings are nonsense, Cabo Verde performed better than Portugal

>>156702983
You are winning third place*

>>156702158
How the fuck are we 5? Are the nation league wins that big? I mean it's fun footie but it's a glorified friendly cup

>>156702158
A lot of these teams rating does not match their performance, especially Cape Verde's. Perhaps Sweden's rating is the only accurate one, since we're not really that good.

>>156702158
Honestly in knockout football, these rankings don't matter at all. Anything can happen and even the supposedly shit teams get fired up for big matches and have the possibility of playing out of their skin.

it's not our fault that Uruguay, Colombia and Portugal lost

>>156705977
Anything?
