Yes they’re competitive matches. What’s your point?
Those are the 3 best teams in the world according to the rankings mate
Why are you arguing with people who agree with you?
I’m arguing with the lad who thinks the rankings should be based on who he thinks is the better team and not actual results

Let me get this straight, you advocate the ranking system but agree you’d prefer our group than Holland and Germany.
You also state that Belgium are the best team in the World based on the fact they lost the world cup on the hard side of the draw, then lost in a group with Switzerland in the nation’s league.
I don’t get your point and I don’t think you do either. I think you saw what you thought was an open goal at me because you don’t like me and hit the ball off your own ankle and over the bar.

Yes. Switzerland and Denmark are deservedly ahead of Germany and Holland in the rankings but I would still prefer to play them. Simple really
Sorry where did I say this?
Cry me a river mate. I think you’re wrong with a few football related opinions and that you support a horrific football club but I have no issue with you generally
Belgium are the number 1 ranked team in the world. You’re arguing the rankings are correct. Explain…
I already said the rankings aren’t perfect, just your reasoning as to why they weren’t perfect was clearly very wrong
The rankings are never going to be bang on because it isn’t a league system where everybody plays each other. Despite this it is obviously a better idea that they are based on actual results in games than who you think is the better team
So you agree Holland and Germany are better than Switzerland and Denmark and Belgium shouldn’t be ranked #1.
That was a long ways about.
I don’t think so.
Germany were in a European semi-final 2 years ago and World Cup Champion 4 years ago. The Swiss are just flat track bullies who fail to impact major tournaments.
My point was that Denmark and Switzerland are deservedly ahead of Germany and Holland in the rankings because of their results. Your point was that they shouldn’t be because you don’t think they are as good
The rankings are sponsored by coca cola and the algorithm is a pure cod. Fuck you tmh for making me look that up
Germany have won one competitive game in 2018. Switzerland have got to the knockout stages of the last three international tournaments so you’re wrong there also
Results in friendlies?
Holland just won a nation’s league group beating France and Germany. Why haven’t they moved up?
It’s a cod mate, admit it, it’ll lighten your load.
Mate I never said the world rankings system was good. This appears to be your mistake. I just said that it is better that the rankings are based on results rather than who you think is better
They have moved up. They’re 15th after not qualifying for a tournament in 4 years
No mate it’s not who I think is better. It’s who is actually better.
France are actually better than Belgium yet are behind them in the World rankings.
Actually, you’re just contradicting yourself at this stage.

The Nations League is a novelty tournament. Switzerland’s record at major international tournaments is bang average. Germany have won one of the last 3 major tournaments and made the last 4 in another one.
The Swiss are like the Ireland of rugby - flat track bullies who will fail to impact at the business end of tournaments.
The last time they made it to the last 8 of a major tournament was 1954.
Where did I contradict myself?
The rankings are based on results. Denmark and Switzerland have had better results than Holland and Germany on average over the last few years. Just deciding one team is better would be incredibly unfair don’t you think?
What are you expecting of Switzerland? They do well with what they have
