I know FIFA tries as much as possible to make these rankings objective but they are still subjective.
If you ask 100 persons, they will each come out with their own different rankings.

I blame Buhari and Sunday Dare

DrGill:

Firstly, Christian Pulisic is not the only U.S.A player known to the world.

Secondly, it is not about the individual players you have but it's about collective performance of that nation, get that right.

They (U.S.A) won the Concacaf Nations League and The Gold Cup (just like Portugal in Europe then) within some weeks apart beating Mexico in both finals after extra time with different set of players. (but Mexico is still next to/ahead of them in the rank because U.S.A just move steps up).
They also have good football administration all over. their women at least brought bronze this time around from tokyo.
try to understand.

nizzyong:
FIFA na Scam.
I wonder what USA is doing at 10th position.

Maybe because they won the Gold cup. Even AFCON is better than that thing sef

First of all, that is men's rankings. And secondly, administration is not what is used for rankings but performance. USA is not meant to be there at all. AFCON is even better than Gold cup.

There is a way the ranking is calculated.

It uses the Elo rating, a type of statistical estimator.

Although, the Elo was originally created for measuring chess player strengths and the relative strengths of their opponents, it has been adopted for use in soccer.

Among variables considered are the current strengths or weaknesses of your opponents.

Let us consider that particular variable.

Italy knocked Belgium out of the Euros, one would expect Belgium to drop.

But no, it doesn't work that way.

If you considered Italy's strength before the Euros, you could look at the variations in their success rate, and obviously realize that their standard deviation is low, which means they were strong by Elo estimation.

So, Belgium lost to an equally strong team, and thus did not lose enough points to knock them off top spot.

Supposing Belgium lost to a weak team like Martineque, Belgium will lose significant points, and Martineque will gain significant points.

This may account for the United States taking the 10th position after beating Mexico to win the Gold Cup recently.

Argentina beating Brazil at the Copa America is not a significant result for massive point gain as their strengths are not too far apart.

OJay360:
They are above who won the euro 2020

It's not rocket science. It's not by what you win, it's by point accumulated with reference to your previous position on the ranking .

If Italy accumulated 100pts by winning euro but the point margin between them and USA is 150pts. That means even in the next ranking, USA will still be ahead of them provided they continue to accumulate points as well

ODJ124:


Brazil ought to be First though...



Thread seen..

Because?

There is a method to this stuffs, my brother.

They don't just pull rankings out of thin air.

There are some mathematics (in fact, some logistic regression) to it.

Belgium has done enough to remain on top.

Brazil hasn't done enough.

They deserve 55

The Eagles need serious overhauling . I decided no to out Super because there is nothing super about them. Our major problem is politics. The right people are not occupying the right position,hence you can get good result. Until people who are experienced,passionate and discipline are appointed,our football will continue to relegate. Imagine maintaining a foreign coach who keep dragging us backward just in name of making money for their pockets,despite his very poor performance. Since the era of USA 94 Super eagles,there is no good managent and good team again. Imagine 34th position. I remember Nigeria was in 4th during the USA 90 I mentioned.
