But the ranking is not about future years but the past 4 years.

Brazil:
2014 - World Cup 4th place
2015 - Copa America Quarter Final
2016 - Copa America Group Stage
- Olympic Games Winner

1st place WC 2018 qualifier (currently)

vs.

Germany:
2014 - World Cup Winner
2016 - Euros Semi Finals
- Olympic Games Runner Up
2017 - Confederations Cup Winner

1st place Euro 2016 qualifier
1st place WC 2018 qualifier (currently)

____________________

The joke is that Germany just won the Confederations Cup one month ago, got #1 and now they are back to #2, while Brazil didn't play a match since June.
Also in the mean time, Argentina made it to 3 finals and Chile won 2 Copa Americas.

It's because it doesn't count them equaly. Germany's WC gives them less points each month that passes, same for Chile's Copas (Both were counted as ties anyway), Brazil points are more recent (Except for the confed cup, which I guess doesn't give that many points since neither of the finalist got a better ranking).

I might be wrong but at least that's what our local media says about us loosing spots despite confed final and both copas

yeah I know. Point is the ranking is bad because the points you get per game change the average of the current year and only that is what counts.
That means that for each friendly you play, your score lowers even if you win all of them. Simply because a victory in a friendly is worth less than a victory in a WC/Euro qualifier or any tournament.

Phew.. that game was more difficult than it should have been. Leicester playing through ball to Vardy bullshit again. I hope they don't win a single game this season 😋

Giroud is the man! Last night I went to see Robbie Williams with my wife (what a show!) and now this great evening of football. Yay! 😊

Great start to the PL season, even if both teams were laughable defensively.

I actually put £1 on Leicester to win yesterday, I was so happy until that Ramsey goal. Oh well.

Lol, Ajax starting the Eredivisie season with a 2-1 way loss against Heracles Almelo (last season's #10). Keizer having an absolute great start as coach at Ajax, eliminated in the Champions League qualifiers and now this lmao.

^^
First loss against Heracles since 1965 I'm reading, decent start for the new coach I'd say.
