I've never even heard of some of these places let alone seen them play. How these rankings are worked out I'll never know.

[tommyred]

Fucking joke. Don't see why anyone cares about them anymore.

Nobody actually thinks Holland are a better team than Spain, and nobody thinks England are the 4th best team in the world. We moved up a place because we didn't play!

[johnboy14]

Uruguay finished 4th in the world cup and won the copa america and england are above them?. Id love to know how the rankings are worked out.

Knock yaselves out - tis a convoluted mix of formulas and such designed to take into account a teams strength, ranking, region, competition per each game and such.

[doghouse]

As long as you look at the FIFA rankings as just a complicated formula and nothing to do with direct results it's kind of useful. English players are a lot better than the England team would have you think.

[ScholesEvilTwin]

Dont forget its also on a monthly basis - so in the past month the table is a fair reflection on each countries results.

[thesituation]

Na dont care about formulas or whatever the fuck, Spain should be number one. European and World Champions. Simples.

[ericactor1]

I think its rather silly that Spain are ranked as number two?! There the current holders of the world cup and european cup obviously there the best national team in the word at this current time!

I know FIFA World Ranking can be, or are a load rubbish to some but taffy @cavelly2k, you will like this. 

Wales, England & Scotland rise in Fifa world rankings



6 hours|Football




   Gareth Bale helped Wales reach the Euro 2016 semi-finals


Wales have risen a place to 10th in the Fifa world rankings, one spot above Spain, following their 4-0 World Cup qualifying win over Moldova.

England are also up one place to 12th after beating Slovakia 1-0.

Scotland's 5-1 triumph in Malta means they are the biggest climbers among the home nations, up seven spots to 44th.

However, after their 0-0 draw with the Czech Republic, Northern Ireland are down two slots to 30th, a place above the Republic of Ireland.

Wales went into the top 10 for the first time in July 2015 and reached a record eighth in October that year.

In August, 2011 Wales were ranked 117th, but their rise to be alongside some of the world's strongest nations included qualifying the 2016 European Championship.

It was the nation's first major tournament since 1958 and they progressed to the semi-finals in France, where they were knocked out by eventual winners Portugal.

Nah its nice to see us doing well and all that but I dont pay attention the rankings too much. None really tell the proper story.

A couple lads at the bar could do a much better job with honest rankings.
