Penalty shootout defeats amass the same number of points as a draw, while penalty shootout victories are worth half of a victory, with the failure to pick up maximum points from the World Cup final the reason why Argentina have failed to move to the top of the rankings. One final point worth mentioning which is related to current events which were mentioned right at the start of this piece. Hopefully you get the gist of it… Why are Argentina not number one in the FIFA World Rankings? Team B loses the same number of points and thus ends up with 1483 points after the match. Thus, team A wins 17 points and has P = 1317 points after the match. 60 – FIFA World Cup matches (quarter-finals, semi-finals, third place play-off and final)Įxample: Team A has 1300 points before the match and wins a continental qualifier against team B that has 1500 points.įor team A the formula is: P=1300+25*(1–(1/(10 exp (-(1300–1500)/600) +1)))įor team B the formula is: P = 1500 + 25 * (0- (1 / (10 exp (-(1500-1300)/600) + 1))).50 – FIFA World Cup matches (before quarter-finals).

Cameroon jumped 10 spots to 33rd, mainly as a result of their group-stage victory over Brazil, which wasn’t enough to see them through to the knockout round. They have both leapt 11 places in the rankings. The biggest movers are – unsurprisingly – Morocco (11th), who shocked the world by reaching the last four, and Australia (27th), beaten in the round of 16 by the eventual winners. Which countries have moved up the FIFA World Rankings? There’s no change for England (fifth) or Portugal (ninth), while Italy, who failed to qualify, are down two spots to eighth. Staying inside the top 10, World Cup quarter-finalists the Nethrlands have moved up two spots into sixth, Croatia, who finished third, are up five places to seventh but Spain drop three and into 10th after losing in the round of 16. In Argentina, the celebrations have not stopped 🇦🇷🏆 #FIFAWorldCup /26nzHvqVGW- FIFA World Cup December 21, 2022
