Holland top FIFA World ranking!

About ******** time!

Always rated this ranking. England being currently ranked 4th is proof it's accurate.

By the way the secret of the current Dutch team is that it is a team and that players want to -and enjoy- playing for it.

Is that a joke?

I mean Holland is my favorite Natl. Team besides the US and Top 3 no doubt.. I like how Peiters has came in and played will in place of Giovanni but I think I'd still rate Germany and Spain above Holland at the moment.

The Dutch just need to keep their players healthy..

Spain should be number 1, they're obviously better than everyone and have been for years.

Isn't this the same ranking that had Mexico as no1 team for a while? They're nutters.

Well in reality, Holland aren't the best team in the world.

Holland would still get beaten by Germany and Brazil.

I've always thought these ratings are stupid for the sole reason that the world cup teams are not the top 32, immediately following the tournament.

Apparently in FIFA's eyes, a team is better for not qualifying than they are for qualifying, then doing poorly.

Holland National Team is my first love but any team with Robben and Sneijder kills it for me. Its time the Oranje pushed it to the limit but not with those wanks. Happy for you mate.

Don't worry We (India) are at 158 :wink:

Anyways nice to see Holland number 1. Followed them and prayed that they win the last World Cup though it was disappointing to see the way they played the tournament.

But most people would expect Spain to beat Holland, which shows the flaw in the ranking system.

The Wozniacki comparison was on the money.

Spain was finding it very difficult against us, I dont think Spain would beat us comfortably, I would like to meet them again in the final 2012 European Championship :wink:

Haha, dont worry mate,

I still admit Spain do have the best quality players, and they have the best team, but i do think we can change it, i must praise Germany also a very good collective team.

Herbas (Forum Member) on September 4th, 2011, 10:01 am

Can anyone explain how it is even possible for Spain not to be first in the ranking? I mean in whatever system you can devise Spain should be first after winning EC and WC? They perform well in qualifications as well.
Seriously, what the hell?
