Ten Highest Ranking FIFA Countries by Year

Woo hoo...my first 100% on a soccer...ahem...football quiz!!!

Mine too let's high five (人*´∀｀)｡*ﾟ+

YAY! 4 years later and i got another 100%. Woo hoo!

Happy for Belgium. I hope they win the world cup one day.

Thank you! :)

Yes, great football quiz!

In this quiz it works because England has its own team.

Don't open cans of worms

Britain is never used because Britain is not a country.

The constituent countries of the UK have their own football teams and therefore England is the only acceptable answer in this circumstance.

or the olympics

Love multiple fields filling in at once

I had the same situation with Germany. Couldn't for the life of me think of a country that was so successful that I hadn't tried.

The FIFA ranking has always been a complete nonsense.

Agree with Corrode, the FIFA ranking never values winning world cups, for example right now Germany is behind Brazil and Argentina, teams that they won in the last world cup.

It covers last 4 years though

Well Belgium never did anything better than the Netherlands during competition until 2018 but was behind them...

Austria in the top 10???? Haven't been to a WC or Euro as long as I can remember

Euro 2016 :)

I'm not exactly sure I understand "How I did they were there isn't it." Did you just type in random fragments of sentences?

I think I actually understood it better than I would there had were proper been it's one.

In football (that is real football) England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland all have their own representative football team. It is the same in the Commonwealth Games with the addition of teams from Jersey, Guernsey, Isle of Man all separate not UK.

Is Will Griggs still on fire!?

Gee! The Troubles happened, you know!

100!!!!!!!

Drop that hundo!

9 seconds left

Chile isn't even in the 2018 FIFA World Cup!

FIFA...... August 2018 top 10....... 1) France 2) Belgium 3) Brazil 4) Croatia 5) Uruguay 6) England 7) Portugal 8) Switzerland 9) Spain 10) Denmark:

I don't know a lot about soccer but with the generous time limit this was still pretty easy.

Not as easy as the American Football version would be...

I think that would be harder. I have no idea where countries other than the USA are ranked in American football.

there would only be one answer - U.S.A, because they're the only ones who actually play it lol

With two minutes left i missed one. With one second left i guessed austria.

Missed Austria

ColOmbia. No, I'm not Colombian, but I've traveled there extensively, and nothing will annoy Colombians more than this. Maybe aside from narco jokes. And no, they don't love Pablo.

Hmmm....that was super easy for an American who couldn't have guessed the answers....

Shhhh. Easy 100% ;)

Finally a quiz that doesn't give you anything for typing China, India, and USA!

Still baffles me how England get such high rankings each year

Because they tend to do quite well in qualifiers.

Please stop whining, silly boy.

Guessed Austria (only 2016) but not Colombia (many years) 😂😂.

Wow didn't quite believe it for Austria, Switzerland and Poland!

..5/5 on the razor's edge

World game!

Personally, I think Belgium is overrated

Absolutely not. We are not often bragging, but our current team is top class.

Indeed it is! Greetings from us envious Germans. Time to invade... oh well, nevermind. Force of habit.

Belgium has a population smaller than the LA metro and plays right at the top of the competition, and the US with 330 million people, a robust soccer development program, and a bunch of ringers from other countries can't scrape together 20 guys to put together a competitive team. Come on, man.

It's rather disappointing how bad America's men's soccer team is given how good it could be. I'm not sure why it is that way, but personally, I've always chalked it up to a lack of interest in the sport in America, especially among men.

Our women's team, on the other hand, is pretty amazing!

It really is impressive how much the USMNT team sucks.

And contrary to disciplines like handball (I think you Mericans call that ''European'' handball), where America is also inept, football has been played in the US for a long time and there's much money in it too.

@jmellor13 already mentioned Belgium, but think that even Croatia (11th place in 2021) is way ahead of the United States with a population as little as that of L.A. - not the metropolitan area, but the city itself!

I have heard this explanation many times, but we should still be able to find 20 guys who both have the athletic ability to compete and a preference for soccer. Also, if you look at the build of the average soccer player, he's not fit for basketball or American football. Most of them would have to be baseball players. Soccer is more popular than lacrosse and track and field, and it might be less popular than hockey as a spectator sport, but certainly not among participants. I was a hockey player, and it's a real pain. The demands for equipment, travel, and access to ice time are prohibitive for many people. Our development programs for soccer are much better than those for hockey, lacrosse, and track and field too. Soccer should really be on par with tennis, and it lags way behind. I just don't get it.

Austria??? That's unbelievable!

Can you accept UK for England

Belgium only got to the top of this list by exploiting all the other countries in the world. Down with Belgian hegemony!

Hey im Britannia, a toothbrush

Eventually got Austria after some guessing around, really didn't think they'd be on this list.

But this English national football team is distinct from the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish teams.

Dont even watch soccer/Non-American football and got 19/20 lol

I almost forget England!

Only people who don't watch soc- erm football get Austria

like me

got mexico with 1 second left I can't believe that's their only appearance! Good quiz btw.

missed mexico

Missed England. It's amazing that after all these years no country from Africa or Asia has made it into the top 10.

Fun fact: Portugal and Spain are the only countries that are in the ranking since 2013.
