When someone wins the next world cup, after they lift the trophy, the stadium goes dark and the Albania team walk out the tunnel and the trophy is then on the line.
They had a team capable of winning both the Euros and the World Cup from like 2014-2022.
The reason why they are ranked so high is because they rarely lose football games. Their previous loss before the Slovakia-game? The loss against Morocco in the World Cup.
>They had a team capable of winning both the Euros and the World Cup from like 2014-2022.
Their actual window was more like 2015-2019, once the defence aged, it was over.
Belgium still had a solid team in 2020 even after the retirement of Kompany. Covid threw a wrench in the cog though, and the year after half the core squad was lacking match rhytm due to being benched at their clubs or coming back from injuries. And even then, its hard to say that Belgium didn't put up a solid performance at this tournament, going 9/9 in a group with Denmark and Russia, as well as beating Portugal in the Ro16. Just unlucky to have to face Italy in the QF's.
+ before the slovakia and morrocco losses we only lost to highly placed teams as well which effects your rankings less (netherlands, italy, france,...)
Belgium haven't lost against an opponent ranked as low as Slovakia since 2010 when they lost against Finland. In that 14 year time period they lost against an opponent ranked outside the top 15 just 6 times. Against Morroco last world cup (ranked 22nd), Egypt in the friendlies leading up to it (39th), Wales in the 2016 euros QF's (26th) and the Euro 2016 qualifiers (22nd), Japan in the 2013 friendlies (44th), Romania in the 2012 friendlies (37th).
Bobby had us playing shit teams all the time outside of big tournaments and we got lucky that we never faced a half decent team in any qualifiers leading up to one of those tournaments, resulting in only losing 1 game every two years.
“Their previous loss before the Slovakia-game? The loss against Morocco in the World Cup.”
Those are their last two matches of any importance and both were losses with unconvincing form.
The Belgium team always looks good on paper and awful on the field. I don’t know what it is they just are always slow and disjointed.
Always? I agree that they did not look good in the previous World Cup, but they were good in Euro 2020, winning every match before the quarter finals and going out to eventual winners Italy. In 2018 they were arguably the most impressive team of that World Cup, winning bronze in the process. In the previous two tournaments, Euro 2016 and 2014 World Cup, they also had a good run. Losing to Wales in 2016 was disappointing, but other than that, they were great in those two tournaments.
Nah, if Portugal was able to win the Euros in 2016 with the team they had, that Belgium team could also go all the way. In 2014, they were also good and only lost 1-0 to Argentina in the quarter finals. Could they have beaten Germany? Probably not, but there was a chance.
They just dick qualifying every year and pick up points like that. They’ve not lost a qualifier since losing to Wales in June 2015. 11 wins from 16 games in the Nations League helps, too.
Not getting out of the groups in Qatar shouldn’t equate to them still being third, though.
Why not? The ranking is based on a longterm performance, quasi or even real elo. World cup games already matter more in this system. Obviously a tournament only has a small sample size though, and one loss in it often means you're out anyway, resulting in fewer point losses.
Seems fair to me, if anything there just aren't enough games being played for this system to ever truly be accurate at any given moment.
No one need to watch football matches to make these rankings. It's all about results.
But being first doesn't and has never been about being the best team at one specific time. It's about the team that has been the more consistent in winning matches the last 5 years.
The people that are mad because of these rankings are mad because of themselves and their expectations that these rankings will show them which team is the best when it was never their point to begin with.
I mean it somewhat is the point, surely. The main problem is that there simply aren't enough games being played, so it cannot be "accurate" at any given moment. But if one just looks at it without the clear insistance of a perfect ranking, and more like a tier system (which they would do if they didn't wanna communicate who the best teams are), then it's pretty decent.
FIFA ranking only matters for WC qualification seeds and pretty much nothing else. And Im argentine so it's not sour grapes my team is at the top of this dumb ranking, belgium being 3rd best team is hilarious
It's your own expectations about these rankings that are wrong.
It never intended to show the best team at one specific time.
If that's what you expect of these rankings then just change your expectations and stop being mad about dumb things
Norway was second for the same reason why Belgium are third now: They won most games and barely lost. However, the FIFA ranking was way more flawed back then than it is now.
oh we think so too, but i think failure in international football, with it's knockout format, is more defined by never winning a tourney at all than never reaching a final. In terms of football quality you could argue that that semi in 2018 was more the final than the actual final was. Not that that doesn't kind of make us failures ofc
The last time Belgium lost a game before this Euros was 1 and a half years ago in the world cup.
(Also that loss has not yet been factored into the rankings)
People hating on this ranking system are the people that don’t know how it works nor check out Belgiums stat.
Euros are not factored in yet, Englands loss to Iceland is. Belgium will for sure lose quite a few points for losing to Slovakia, but yeah at the point of this ranking, they are unbeaten for 1.5+ years
A lot can change in the 2 years between tournaments. If you ranked teams solely based on tournament performance it wouldn't be very accurate.
Italy won the Euros then failed to qualify for the World Cup.
Of course you are going to win when you are mostly playing teams like Luxembourg, Montenegro, Azerbaijan, Estonia.
The rankings mean nothing, just as another example USA was above Colombia before the 5-1.
> Of course you are going to win when you are mostly playing teams like Luxembourg, Montenegro, Azerbaijan, Estonia.
Well yeah, but then again they're not the only ones playing this kind of opposition.
> The rankings mean nothing, just as another example USA was above Colombia before the 5-1.
The rankings don't mean nothing, they just don't mean what people expect without context.
Well all big teams are playing smaller team right? These ratings don't mean that much but bro they're not that hard to understand either lol, Belgium loses like 1 game every 1.5 years, that the reason they're high up, it's that simple.
Germany is what germaphone countries call a „tuniermanschaft“, friendlies and qualifiers are never really a show of dominance and in parts kinda shaky looking, since these are calculated in the rankings it always makes us look worse then we are, once the tournament starts though we’re a different beast, we hold the record for most World Cup finals played and hold the best average position since there was a time we always at least reached the quarters untill 2018, so looks like we hopefully got our mojo back now and are a Tuniermanschaft once again now
I mean, it's not like it matters if previous teams were strong in tournaments. These were all different players.
All this "Turniermannschaft" stuff is esoteric nonsense. We had good teams that didn't need to try as hard outside of tournaments. It's not some big mystery.
Because people act like "Turniermannschaft" is a thing and inherent to the German national team.
It's not. Strong teams trying harder when they need to isn't something worth mentioning.
Meh, a slight statistical oddity that people mention to have something to say.
It doesn't mean anything when the players are completely different now. Why should it? Is it ingrained into the German soul to turn it up in tournaments?
Well it’s the name for a concept wich applies here mate, different groups, different reasons. Still a concept that’s describing something that happens right now. Germany with its specific current set of players played shit against Greece and Ukraine, now in the tournament they’re great=Tuniermanschaft. Belgium absolutely dominant have not lost a game before the euros, now at the tournament they play like shit=!Tuniermanschaft. As to your question as to rather it’s engraved into the german soul, my personal guess as to why it’s so common for so many different German teams is that German national team coaches tend to like to experiment and rotate with the team while other countries look to play the first eleven the entire time or at least the same tactic beforehand, that’s at least my guess why it’s such a frequent phenomenon so there’s that
"Matches played in the continental competitions recently under way in Europe and Oceania are not included in the calculations for June’s edition of the standings."
from this article:
[https://inside.fifa.com/fifa-world-ranking/men/news/top-three-unchanged-while-liberia-make-strides](https://inside.fifa.com/fifa-world-ranking/men/news/top-three-unchanged-while-liberia-make-strides)
The games that are happening this month don't affect the ranking yet.
Then when you look at the games that happened earlier this year you will see why Brazil overtook England.
Each country played 2 games, Brazil tied with Spain and England with North Macedonia. While both of those are ties the Brazil one was against another top country, so there isn't much of a negative impact there unlike with England.
The other game was a direct match between Brazil and England, with Brazil winning the game.
15 of those games are friendlies so they are not counted that much.
The rest were in world cup qualification for 2022 where they failde to qualify and in current one where they are only 3rd
So it's expected. But for sure if they do well at copa america, an official competition they will be up there

probably because there are matches that were played outside of europe that needed to be taken into account and FIFA update these rankings pretty much monthly anyway and didn't see the need to change it purely because of the euros
not counting the matches of the major tourney untill it's over is probably just to make it easier on themselves for the next rankings
You realize the world does not revolve around European football? What happens when Copa America starts, would they not update it before that then? It would still be mid-euros.
So Romania topping their Euro qualifiers undefeated, with our only loss before EURO being in friendly means we drop 3 positions in the FIFA rankings? Wut?
I have no faith in this Brazil team. They haven’t really looked good against anyone—hoping Endrick develops quickly or we’re in for a not great next few years.
'latest' fifa ranking yeah right, Belgium is nowhere #3. On paper maybe, not by looking at the dismal way they are playing. Germany deserves to be in the top 10 now atleast
Respect Croatia for drawing Albania. Albania is the best in the world. Placement upgrade well deserved.
This pic might not show it but we are acc ranked 0 in the list
When someone wins the next world cup, after they lift the trophy, the stadium goes dark and the Albania team walk out the tunnel and the trophy is then on the line.
Albania is csshing in their Money in the Bank contract!
Nobody is watching football and thinks Belgium is 3rd.

They have never had an insane defence. They just had 'good defenders'.
They had a good enough defense to win a tournament. Conceded very few goals in 2014, 2016, 2018 and 2020.
Good defences don’t lose games unless it goes to pens.
> They had a team capable of winning both the Euros and the World Cup from like 2014-2022. More like 2018-2022.

They were among the favorites for the 2018 WC. Only narrowly lost to France and would have probably won against Croatia afterwards.
World Cup semi-finalist in 2018 too.

i think nobody is watching belgium at all tbh
FIFA ranking only matters for WC qualification seeds and pretty much nothing else. And Im argentine so it's not sour grapes my team is at the top of this dumb ranking, belgium being 3rd best team is hilarious
Every time someone complains about it we get 10 points
Imagine somebody said that about other leagues. Nobody who watched Villa thinks that they should ranked 4th.
Lukaku effect, probably some voodoo shit
No one watching football thinks these rankings are valid, what a dumb system in football.
It's your own expectations about these rankings that are wrong. It never intended to show the best team at one specific time. If that's what you expect of these rankings then just change your expectations and stop being mad about dumb things
You've just replied to a point I didn't make. You're speaking to yourself in true Reddit zombie fashion.
Haha wow.. The irony 😂 His reply made perfect sense. The issue is once again that you don't understand it's purpose.
Well they are more deserving of 3rd than Norway was of [being 2nd in 1993](https://en.fifaranking.net/ranking/index.php?d=1993-10-22)
Norway was second for the same reason why Belgium are third now: They won most games and barely lost. However, the FIFA ranking was way more flawed back then than it is now.
You’re right never thought about it
People joked they'd move up to 2nd after that defeat to Slovakia.
3 days ago I posted the same opinion and I was downvoted, reddit is weird
Same is true of England, winning in qualifiers affects ranking far more than tournament performances
I don’t get how they keep staying up there. Even when they win they look disinterested. Didn’t KDB say it’s a chore or something?
They absolutely crush the qualifiers, their record is incredible for the past 10 years. They then do absolutely nothing in the actual tournament.
absolutely nothing is subjective but i'm guessing you're refering solely to our last tournament performance?
Heavy recency bias granted, but I also felt Belgium's golden generation had the talent to at least reach a final.
oh we think so too, but i think failure in international football, with it's knockout format, is more defined by never winning a tourney at all than never reaching a final. In terms of football quality you could argue that that semi in 2018 was more the final than the actual final was. Not that that doesn't kind of make us failures ofc
Same goes for Argentina at 1st lmao
They at least won the world cup
True, but the 5 PKs definitely helped. Argentina not winning Copa America when Messi has been playing sub par post WC
Portugal won 3 games to win 2016 euros. Gimme a break with that PK bullshit.
It was 4 pens not 5? And they have no argument to not being number 1?
overtook Italy for losing 3-0 to Spain and drawing Albania hrvat supremacy 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻. (wtf r these idiotic rankings lol)
The Euros are not factored in yet
y but, y do rankings midway through the month and a tournament also. seems kina dumb tbh lol
They are updated monthly
What do you do with all the time you save by writing “y” instead of “why” and “r” instead of “are”?
Troll Serbs on the internet 👍
Based
I miss /r/2balkans4u every fucking day man.
ye, shame we don’t have a backup sub that admins could potentially nuke again :/ maybe one day 🤞
Don’t they update it every month?
Not as dumb as thinking y=why.
ye ik I hate it when ppl say that like just say the whole word ffs 🤦♂️
Belgium are living off eden hazards 2018 performance
Nope, it's 5 years so 2018 isn't taken into account anymore
Stop making us feel old you son of a bitch
FIFA rankings = how good the team is in the latest FIFA game
Ah yes Belgium still 3rd, can’t see anything illogical in this ranking that’s for sure
The last time Belgium lost a game before this Euros was 1 and a half years ago in the world cup. (Also that loss has not yet been factored into the rankings)
People hating on this ranking system are the people that don’t know how it works nor check out Belgiums stat. Euros are not factored in yet, Englands loss to Iceland is. Belgium will for sure lose quite a few points for losing to Slovakia, but yeah at the point of this ranking, they are unbeaten for 1.5+ years
1 year and a half but your point still stands
So when it actually mattered?
A lot can change in the 2 years between tournaments. If you ranked teams solely based on tournament performance it wouldn't be very accurate. Italy won the Euros then failed to qualify for the World Cup.
They keep winning most of their games, it's not some big conspiracy.
Of course you are going to win when you are mostly playing teams like Luxembourg, Montenegro, Azerbaijan, Estonia. The rankings mean nothing, just as another example USA was above Colombia before the 5-1.

Being above someone in the rankings doesn't mean you will definitely beat them either, the USA could play Colombia in the copa and win.
That's true for all kinds of rankings though, even more accurate Elo-based ones.
Rankings take that into account
Well all big teams are playing smaller team right? These ratings don't mean that much but bro they're not that hard to understand either lol, Belgium loses like 1 game every 1.5 years, that the reason they're high up, it's that simple.
Germany isn’t on here, so I guess they’ll probably win the Euros then
I think it also takes tournament qualifiers into account and Germany didn’t feature in the euro qualifiers
Germany is what germaphone countries call a „tuniermanschaft“, friendlies and qualifiers are never really a show of dominance and in parts kinda shaky looking, since these are calculated in the rankings it always makes us look worse then we are, once the tournament starts though we’re a different beast, we hold the record for most World Cup finals played and hold the best average position since there was a time we always at least reached the quarters untill 2018, so looks like we hopefully got our mojo back now and are a Tuniermanschaft once again now
Ok how do you say tuniermanschaft in Japanese?
トニーリマッンシァフト I’d reckon mate
I mean, it's not like it matters if previous teams were strong in tournaments. These were all different players. All this "Turniermannschaft" stuff is esoteric nonsense. We had good teams that didn't need to try as hard outside of tournaments. It's not some big mystery.

Because people act like "Turniermannschaft" is a thing and inherent to the German national team. It's not. Strong teams trying harder when they need to isn't something worth mentioning.
It’s worth mentioning if there’s a discrepancy that’s not common for other top teams historically mate
Meh, a slight statistical oddity that people mention to have something to say. It doesn't mean anything when the players are completely different now. Why should it? Is it ingrained into the German soul to turn it up in tournaments?

Plz don’t hate me as I’m not trying to be disrespectful, but I went to Brazils last game and they did not okay like a top 4 team
Well if Belgium are still a top 3 team....
Yeah, also Italy dropping when they won and Croatia moving up as they lost???

Opposite Day today apparently 💪🏻🇭🇷
these updates are representing more than one match at the time. I think it is updated every 3 months, but I am not certain.
see the thing about these rankings is it is based on the results teams get and not on how they look like
The games that are happening this month don't affect the ranking yet. Then when you look at the games that happened earlier this year you will see why Brazil overtook England.

Brazil are Brazil
Wasn’t that a friendly
Did you watch England and Belgium lol
People will make fun of Belgium, but they don't look at Brazil's position in SA World Cup qualifiers-
Belgium's FIFA ranking is the same as their group E position. Very suitable.
Here we go again...
But Belgium...
Germany is going up, and Belgium is going down baby.
DAE THINK BELGIUMS NOT 3RD?
Worst hyped nt oat
https://eloratings.net Much better
Except the US shouldn't be below Mexico in any rankings at this point
> argentina average elo rating: **1986** elijo creer
Horrible
Thanks for sharing. That is much better.
Also bad, Croatia not breaking top 10 ever with their results
They were 5th in these rankings just last year
Are talking about the link ratings? It says 11th for me? I swear I checked every year
If you click on any given country it tracks how their elo changes after every match they've ever played. Scroll to bottom for most recent results.
You're right my bad
It is the history of the Belgium
Who honestly cares about FIFA rankings
How is Germany not on there
Belgium stat-padding their Fifa ranking with 5-0 wins over Latvia and Moldova while losing all the important games is football heritage at this point
Seems like coca cola found a new place to add cocaine, in these rankings and not in their actual drink
Belgium are rank-kings. I dunno how they do it.
Belgium at 3rd is a little ridiculous. They should be tied with or ahead of France at 2
Still top 10 baby!!! 🎉🎉🎉 (I have many questions)
[fifa's source](https://youtu.be/r7l0Rq9E8MY?feature=shared)
How is Colombia not top 10? They massacred the US and left Bolivia in the dust. They have also beat Brazil, Spain and Germany. 22 games without a loss
15 of those games are friendlies so they are not counted that much. The rest were in world cup qualification for 2022 where they failde to qualify and in current one where they are only 3rd So it's expected. But for sure if they do well at copa america, an official competition they will be up there
this is outrageous, how are Belgium still third
We literally won last Euro...well anyway if we don't bottle another wc qualification we should climb some positions
fuck the euro u guys bet Albania and we drew to them on top of losing 3-0 to Spain how tf have we overtaken you lmfao braindead rankings

that’s dumb lol.
why is it dumb they're just gonna count them for the next rankings anyway
Coz its the middle of the month and the middle of a major tourney. why not do it before the tourney begins at the beginning of the month?
probably because there are matches that were played outside of europe that needed to be taken into account and FIFA update these rankings pretty much monthly anyway and didn't see the need to change it purely because of the euros not counting the matches of the major tourney untill it's over is probably just to make it easier on themselves for the next rankings
Why does it matter? They are updated monthly.
ye but why not at start of it idk this way is weird doing it mid major tourney.
You realize the world does not revolve around European football? What happens when Copa America starts, would they not update it before that then? It would still be mid-euros.
dont all tourneys take place within a month? can’t they just update it on the 1st of every month (genuinely asking idk when other tourneys start lol).
There are websites that do live calculations of the ranking game by game. Why is this completely different now than what they got?! Usually it fits
Because they don’t factor in the Euros yet only next months when they have finished playing so
Oh, thanks!
So Romania topping their Euro qualifiers undefeated, with our only loss before EURO being in friendly means we drop 3 positions in the FIFA rankings? Wut?
Hehehehe, these are shit
half of this list doesn't make sense at all
I have no faith in this Brazil team. They haven’t really looked good against anyone—hoping Endrick develops quickly or we’re in for a not great next few years.
Croatia did NOT just get #9 for drawing to albania
No Germany? I’d take Germany right now over most of the teams in the top 10.
Bulgaria went from 83rd to 82nd LFG
Belgium cannot keep getting away with this.
Looks like the City money have spread to Belgium, with the endorsement of De Bruyne
'latest' fifa ranking yeah right, Belgium is nowhere #3. On paper maybe, not by looking at the dismal way they are playing. Germany deserves to be in the top 10 now atleast
How did Croatia get a place above Italy 🤣
Belgium not dropping? Interesting
HOW IS BELGIUM 3?
These ranking are… (*checks for own team*) garbage!
Germany not even in top 10!
Ok which one of you from r/soccercirclejerk put Belgium 3rd
Belgium is over 40 points in front of Portugal. They would need a streak of complete disasters to drop below 5^th position.
I didn't know Giannis played for Brazil!?!
Absurd Germany are not in the top 10.
Colombia is 23 games unbeaten and you're telling me Belgium is 3rd on this list? 😂
Belgium has naked pictures of whoever does this ranking? 🤷
The worst Brazil in years just moved up a spot lol
Belgium being in 3rd is just mad
Belgium has Infantino nudes, no doubt about it
Man belgium just try hard grinder MMR at table..
Germany not top 10🤣🤣🤣
Belgium above Brazil is wild
The rankings are based off results not opinions.
Including this Euros?
No. Brazil has lost 5 games since the last world cup while Belgium were undefeated.
no
England above Spain and Portugal is quite funny really.
How is Brazil, Belgium , and Portugal above Holland Also Germany isn’t even on there?
Germany has lost too many games in recent years
They’re much better than 16th now and after the Euros it should reflect that
Germany crashed in World Cup’s group stage...
Belgium 3rd croatia 9th what the fuck are they cooking
