They do well in finals, they always qualify, they win their local international games and they give Sepp Blatter all the Burgers he can stuff down his fat face.

It's based on competitive games isn't it? They do quite well in World Cups/Copa Americas (when invited to the latter) and so on.

They very rarely play anyone of note in a competitive game and hence never really lose. Since they never really lose they move up the rankings. The only decent side they play on any kind of competitive basis is mexico who are hardly world beaters.

You'd think somebody in the frigging worldwide governing body of the game would look at their own rankings and go "Hang on, these are total shit!?"

Weren't Brazil no.1 at the last World Cup despite struggling to qualify (by their standards at least) and France being the reigning World and European Champions?

Yeah, France did very well at that cup too :razz:

 

 

The ranking are full of shite, and everyone knows that. At least they say they're 'fixing them.'

 

OTOH, every win that the US gets against Jamaica, Mexico, Costa Rica, etc. counts only for 75% of the number of points that England gets for beating the Faroe Islands or Andorra. There's at least an attempt to make things even, but without any worthwhile universal measuring stick, world wide ranking are fairly impossible.

 

If you look into the ELO ratings, they are a bit more realistic, but again, worldwide ranking is fairly impossible.
