Time to replace the FIFA ranking?

Let's examinate the top 16 teams.

1. Spain
2. Germany
3. Brazil
All those three deserve to be on the top, though I expect Spain to drop a few places after its elimination. No question because of its humbling defeat; Netherlands are just that good now.

4. Portugal
A marketing move to please CR7 fangirls. An undeserving team who was effortless defeated by a lazy Germany. At least Spain tried.

5. Argentina
No opinion.

6. Switzerland
Another overrated team. Struggled to defeat an unexceptional Ecuador.

7. Uruguay.
Costa Rica was a surprise, but if England manages to defeat them, they'll prove themselves much more overrated than the above. But I don't expect England to improve so much in so little time.

8. Colombia
It would be unfair to rate them now, as its best player is injured. Still, they're doing fine without him.

9. Italy
10. England
Are those teams even on the same tier!? Okay, so Sturridge took a lucky chance, but Italy is decidedly superior.

11. Belgium
Another overrated European team. Struggled to defeat a soulless Algeria.

12. Greece
Probably the most overrated team in this list.

13. USA
14. Chile
No opinion.

15. Netherlands
Most underrated team in this list. If Belgium, Greece, Switzerland and Portugal took their best players and made a combined team, they'd still be nowhere near as close.

16. Ukraine
They're not even in the World Cup!!!

What do you think of my analysis? Too many overrated teams, huh?

Agree with you, Greece, Ukraine, and Switzerland have no right to be in there. I rather have Croatia, Ivory Coast, Russia, instead of those.
Portugal , Spain and England should way down. And if America is there Ghana that use to eliminate them should be there.
It just shows you that FIFA is corrupt and biased toward big rich countries, and needs diversity and overhaul.

People always like different ranking but forget that the main is entertainment and quality of game. I think after World Cup end we'll see change in this ranking.

Football isn't boxing or MMA, there are no other international entities, should the boys down the local pub start calling the shots?
