Thoughts?
Italy better than Norway, okay.
>>157045443how is Brazil in the top 5 still? Belgium and Portugal are clearly superior.
>>157045443argentina is actually 4.
>>157045443no scotland?
>>157045443>France, BrazilPast results still way heavily, I see
where's cape verde?
>>157045559we lost to the champions
>italy>USA >USA being above samurai blue>USA being above Norway>Morecocko
>>157046112Japan is overhyped
>Mexico>Top 10Jajajaja
>beat a team>ranked below themdoesnt make much sense does it
>>157045443We’re way overrated but at the same time the overall level of the world is really poor so maybe we’re not that overrated
>>157045443Portugal should be 5th or even 3rd-4th
>>157046142Maybe, but they did pretty good. I think of all the teams they were missing the most starters.USA pretty badly overhyped too though. They looked nice the first games but belgium made them look like fucking clowns. But fair enough, the number 1 team did the same to the number 2 team kek.
>brazil at 5>usa above norwayi'm starting to think this semen slurping sport may not be for me
>>157045443>Belgium not ranked 1stFake.
Pointless ranking.By the time the next cup comes around, Argentina, Belgium and a couple others will just be on the level of Uruguay since they have no young talent.
>>157045443>we are 10thI don't think we are that good outside the Azteca
Here's the real ranking based ONLY on the results from this WC: 1 Spain 1602.8 2 Argentina 1581.8 3 England 1572.8 4 France 1552.3 5 Colombia 1542.5 6 Mexico 1540.7 7 Norway 1529.9 8 Switzerland 1529.7 9 Morocco 1529.3 10 Netherlands 1528.7 11 Belgium 1528.7 12 Brazil 1527.4 13 Portugal 1515.6 14 Germany 1512.5 15 United States 1512.0 16 Iran 1500.6 f 17 Australia 1500.6 18 Croatia 1500.6 19 Canada 1500.6 20 Egypt 1500.5 21 Japan 1499.4 22 Ivory Coast 1499.3 23 Ecuador 1488.7 24 Paraguay 1488.0 25 Turkey 1487.6 26 Sweden 1486.9 27 Algeria 1486.3 28 Austria 1486.3 29 DR Congo 1486.2 30 Cape Verde 1486.2 31 Saudi Arabia 1485.6 32 Uruguay 1485.6 33 South Africa 1485.6 34 Ghana 1485.6 35 Bosnia and Herzegovina 1485.5 36 Scotland 1485.0 37 South Korea 1484.4 38 Senegal 1472.5 39 Czech Republic 1471.9 40 Curaçao 1470.6 41 New Zealand 1470.6 42 Qatar 1470.0 43 Haiti 1457.6 44 Tunisia 1457.6 45 Jordan 1457.6 46 Panama 1456.9 47 Uzbekistan 1456.3 48 Iraq 1456.3
>>157045527Where is England then ?
>>157045443England just beat France like two days ago
>>157045443>Norway below Italy I know this is a modified ELO system but it doesn't seem nearly elastic enough.
>>157047259France was better than England in the entire tournament and the better team in that match during the second half. The score would have been 4-2 if they weren’t asleep during the first half
>it's another "media tries to gaslight Americans into thinking their national team is good enough to care about soccer" episode
>>157045443The US should be top 5 at least. We were robbed.
Hey we made it onto the list!
>>157045443elo ratings is more accurate
>>157049280You will get higher (deserved) with all the nations league matches . Not that it matters much outside of rustling thirdies' jimmies but still
>>157045443>uruguay>japan>lol italyShould not be in top 20>argentina>netherlandsShould not be in top 10
>>157045527They are unironically 15-20
>>157045527Argentina won against England and won an America cup so no
The United States beating Uruguay is an insult to football
>>157049773USA blew Uruguay out 5-1 last year
>>157046674You are 16th chikaner
>>157045443How did Brazil and Morocco got there? And what is Senegal doing there when Cabo Verde, Congo and Egypt did much better than them?
We would get destroyed by Norway.
>>157045443>ItalyWho invited blud. Replace it with Cape Verde
>>157045443egypt almost destroyed argentina before getting robbed, not even top20 .lol
>>157046362doesnt matter, they got their ass kicked for being pussies
>>157047924>"The score would have been"Kek
>>157047175lmao
Mex are #2 in the entire continent huh? CUMbros we we won
>>157050482Egypt was also superior than Belgium.
>>157045443brazil and england are both better than france
All my life FIFA rankings have been shit, and everyone has known that they are shit. It's kind of funny when you really think about. The newer ranking system is much better than it used to be, but still somehow manages to be shit compared to other sports.
>>157045443https://digitalhub.fifa.com/m/f99da4f73212220/original/edbm045h0udbwkqew35a-pdf.pdfI think it's based on consistent W/L/D data over time and opponents' placement in the rankings, rather than any given match performances, and spastics saying swap such-and-such with so-and-so are idiots are trying to go against numbers and longterm data like it's some 4channer's tier-list.Yeah Egypt and Cape Verde did well, they didn't lose any points for being knocked out by higher ranked opposition, and gained places in the standings. If they keep eking out decent performances like that they'll keep climbing up the rankings.They don't magically get to zoom up into the top 20 though, dipshits.
>>157045471yeah, they didn't play and lose points, see Tunisia (-12 places) or South Korea (-7 places). Italy dropped 3 places because they were overtaken by Mexico, Colombia, and Switzerland. Most of the better teams were already ahead of them or still too far away. For example, Norway gained 12 places, it's still not enough to break into the top 15.>>157045559it's a perennial table since 2018, you don't lose points with time. Say Belgium was #1 between 2019 and 2022, they got overtaken by teams that played better since then, but they didn't lose their old points.>>157045513As above, they were #1 in 2022-2023 and keep their points from "old" times.>>157050079Morocco "won" the Africa-cup by stealing towels and rigging the final until Senegal chimped out. Senegal was #2.And yes, this counts the same as Copa America or the Euros (there is no difficulty factor for the different continents anymore). Moreover, MOST african teams did well in the WC (losing in the ko phase does not cost points), except Tunisia (see above).
>>157052132>keeping pointsin the sense that they don't disappear like in the Euro coefficient. A team that loses a match loses points based on the relative ranking of the two teams (except in the ko phase of the tournament).
Fucking hell there's a lot of retarded people on /sp/ - tiktok tier posts.
>>157049675That argentina no longer exists as of Riggitini Snitchitini's retirement THOUGH
>>157045443>brazil>top 5
>>157047924You could literally say that about the England game against Argentina except swap the halves around.England dominated Argentina in the first half and then fell asleep in the second half with the retarded decision to park the bus with 5 defenders.
>>1570454431
>>157047259In a glorified friendly
>England: 4th>England without Tuchel: 1st
>>157046576Lol what Nathan de Cat is probably the most promising defensive mid the worldDuranville is the best dribbler since Ronaldinho, Mika Godts dominated the Eredivisie last year and Barcelona dropped millions on Jesse Bisiwu who like like 16 yo because they were so afraid another team get him
>>157050543Colombia didn't lose a single match on score line.
>>157045443>Germany 12th>Italy 15thyeah sure
>>157047175so op is cumulative for how many years ?
>>157052322The france tha won the world cup nl longer exists as well
>>157045443Imperfect but about right
>>157049773Yeah Uruguay were really good this tournament.
>>157047175
>>157049296do it be though? FIFA uses ELO methodology and modifies the weights of games based on whether they are competitive or friendlies
>Brazil 5thhow?
>>157054526Are you retarded? It's a very simple system they rank teams by.
>>157045443>USA>16
>>157049826La cama
>>157047175This is even worse.
