With the end of the international break, the rankings of the national teams have been updated. MisterChip is a well-known data blogger who calculates the national team's world rankings. The national football team, which was originally ranked 80th, has now been excluded from the top 80 due to a draw and one defeat against New Zealand, which caused the team to decline in the ranking. In addition, among the top 10 teams that everyone pays attention to, FIFA is the latest ranking! Portugal is 9th, Brazil is 3rd, and the first is well deserved, and it is expected to win four titles in three years.
Spain finished 10th and the Matador defeated Norway in the first 2 rounds of European Cup qualifiers, losing to Scotland. In ninth place is Portugal, with Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal winning consecutive European qualifiers against Liechtenstein and Luxembourg. Italy lost to England in the European Qualifiers, followed by Malta and are now ranked 8th in the world.
Croatia, ranked 7th in the world, drew with Wales in the European Qualifiers and beat Turkey. The Netherlands are in 6th place, and after losing to France in the European qualifiers, the Netherlands won Gibraltar. England are ranked 5th, with the Three Lions winning all their first two matches in the European Qualifiers against Italy and Ukraine. Belgium are fourth in the table as they beat Sweden in the European qualifiers and Germany in the warm-up. It is worth mentioning that compared with the previous ranking, the teams ranked 4-10 have not changed.
Brazil were originally ranked No. 1 in the world, but with Brazil playing only one warm-up game recently and losing to Morocco, the Samba have slipped to No. 3 in the world. France moved up from 3rd to 2nd and the Gallic Roosters defeated the Netherlands and Ireland in the first two rounds of the European Qualifiers.
FIFA's highest-ranked team is World Cup winners Argentina, who have won two friendlies since winning the World Cup, knocking out Panama and then Curacao. After these two matches, Argentina improved its world ranking by one place, replacing Brazil as the new world No. 1. Of course, Argentina also fully deserves this achievement. They are not "vases" like the previous Belgium and Brazil, this Argentine team is really strong, Messi's Argentina team won the Copa America, the South American European Super Cup and the World Cup is the best illustration.
In next year's Copa America, Argentina are also favourites to win the title. Once Argentina wins the title again, Messi will receive another national team honour, which is the icing on the cake. So do you think the king Messi can win 4 consecutive championships in the national team? Let's talk in the comments section.
