    Poland at 31 is criminal. With our current form we should be way lower.

    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.

        They went out in the group stage of the 2022 World Cup. Their ranking isn’t that crazy.

        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.

      The DFB is symbolic of many things that go wrong in Germany, for example in politics. Corrupt, incompetent and detached from the rest of society.

      “Die Mannschaft” tells you everything you need to know.

      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.

      The +/- is only relative to last month’s ranking, they dropped a level based on only beating Iceland and Liechtenstein since the last rankings update. Netherlands got more points for beating Ireland and Gibraltar.
