lol fifa rankings

Rankings being an absolute joke shocker.

Why on Earth should friendly results count towards rankings?

Does that not make them more than just friendlies?

Because without friendlies, how many matches do international teams actually play?

You'd either end up trying to work out a teams 'rank' based on only a handful of games in the last 4 years. Or you'd have to base it over a longer period of time, where results from 8 years previous would be being used to try and work out how good a team currently is.

The system is by no means perfect, but it's not really that bad. You just have to accept that they're only an indicator of form over a period of time and not an attempt to show who's actually better than who.
