In the world of football, world ranking is a topic that has attracted much attention, which not only reflects the strength level of football teams in various countries, but also is one of the hot topics of discussion among fans. However, the world ranking is not an absolute criterion for judging and is like a double-edged sword, as it can show the true quality of a team, but it can also mask some strong but lower-ranked teams.
In the case of the Chinese national football team, before the Asian Cup, they were sometimes ranked much higher than teams such as Lebanon and Tajikistan. But once it comes time to actually play, their lack of strength is often exposed, and the situation is a bit embarrassing. This raises questions about the accuracy of the world rankings. The world rankings are based on the results and points system of official international competitions, however, there are differences in the difficulty of matches on different continents, which also affects the objectivity of the rankings. For example, Mexico and the United States, which have long dominated North American football. Their record is naturally excellent, but does that mean they are necessarily better than other teams on other continents?
On the world football stage, Argentina, France and other teams have been at the forefront all year round, and their strength is undoubted, especially in the last World Cup, which confirmed their strength. And teams like England, Portugal, Netherlands, Spain, Brazil, etc., despite all having top-level quality enough to compete at the World Cup, Croatia are in 10th place, hinting at their relative disadvantage among the top teams.
When it comes to teams that don't match their ranking, Belgium is a striking example. Although it is currently in third place, this is not the case. Since the start of the 2022 World Cup, Belgium's form has gradually declined, partly due to increased internal strife and an ageing squad. The gradual withdrawal of the golden generation of players and the immaturity of the new generation of players have made the Belgian team lose its former majesty. Although Belgium have maintained a relatively good ranking in recent years in competitions such as the European qualifiers, this does not mean that they are superior. In fact, compared to the stronger England, Brazil and Spain, Belgium's ranking is not reasonable. Perhaps, 8 to 10 is more in line with their actual level.
In the future, Belgium will need to prove themselves in competitions such as Euro 2024, and despite their impressive results, they still need to do more to maintain their status at the top of world football. It is believed that with the passage of time, the gap between the world ranking and the strength of the team will gradually narrow, and the real strong team will definitely stand out and win the recognition and respect of the world.
