    I always preferred the World Football Elo Ratings which, if you’re interested, have this top 20…

    1. Argentina
    2. Brazil
    3. France
    4. Netherlands
    5. Portugal
    6. Spain
    7. Italy
    8. England
    9. Germany
    10. Croatia
    11. Belgium
    12. Colombia
    13. Uruguay
    14. Denmark
    15. Switzerland
    16. Morocco
    17. Peru
    18. Japan
    19. Ecuador
    20. Serbia

    How are Peru in 17th?

    Senegal not in the top 20 despite winning the AFCON and making the last 16 of the world cup?
    Peru’s opponents, being in CONMEBOL, are typically a lot stronger than Senegal’s opponents. Peru had some decent results against top 20 opposition through 2022 while Senegal lost/drew games against the likes of Liberia, Zambia and Eswatini.

    I’m sure most know how the Elo system works. Points are awarded (and taken) every match based on the strength of opponent faced, margin of victory and match importance. 

    The single drawback you could argue is that by not playing matches, you can’t lose points. So unlike Denmark or others who got to the World Cup but has bad showings, Peru’s point total didn’t change.

    17. Peru
    18. Japan
    19. Ecuador
    20. Serbia

    Nope prefer the other one, although both are slightly out. How are Portugal 5th? 
    Portugal were ranked 4th before losing to Morocco and have been consistently top 8 over the last 3-4 years. 

    You can check each team’s record and how many points they gained/lost for each result: https://www.eloratings.net/Portugal



    By comparison, England really screwed themselves by losing twice to Hungary which dropped us from 5th/6th before the Nations League to outside the top 10 before the World Cup started.

    England likely will jump up one place to third behind France and Argentina when the new FIFA rankings are released at the end of the month.

    Highest we've ever been if so, isn't it?

    Yeah. Joint highest, having been there for brief periods in 2012 and 2021.
