After many days of fierce battles, the Qatar Asian Cup has ended. The trend and results of this Asian Cup are still quite surprising, Japan, South Korea, Australia and Iran have not achieved ideal results in the traditional semi-finals, and the national football team has not won 1 game in 3 games and has not scored 1 goal, which is even more surprising. In the last Asian Cup, the national football team lost to Iran in the 1 4 finals, but at least reached the top 8, which is considered a good performance. Although the national football team has regressed a lot in 4 years, what people didn't expect is that the national football team has regressed to the point that it has not even qualified for the group.
After this Asian Cup, the latest FIFA rankings will change greatly, not only Japan, South Korea, Australia and Iran did not play the expected results, the national football team has regressed seriously, and at the same time, Tajikistan and Jordan will greatly improve the rankings of these teams. Of course, we are still more concerned about the changes in the ranking of the national football team, and after this ranking update, the world ranking and Asian ranking of the national football team will be closer to the real level. After all, the national football team did not play abnormally in this competition, and not winning a game is a portrayal of the real level.
According to the news from the domestic **, in the new international ranking competition cycle, the national football team has played a total of 4 international A-level matches, including losing to Oman in the warm-up match, drawing Tajikistan and Lebanon in the Asian Cup, and losing to Qatar. These four games have made the FIFA points of the national football team go crazy, and the Asian ranking has been surpassed by the runners-up Jordan and Bahrain, and has dropped to 13th place in Asia, 85 places are even more distant. The international ranking has dropped a lot, from 79th in the world to 87th in the world, which is also a new low in the world and Asian rankings of the national football team in recent years. The national football team finished 18th in this Asian Cup, so we still have a lot of room and possibility to fall.
It is worth mentioning that the national football team also lost to Hong Kong, China in the warm-up match, and this game was not included in the A-level competition by FIFA, and if it was included, the national football team would have a lower ranking in Asia and the world. After the points ranking is officially determined, it will not be updated before the World Preliminary Tournament in March, and the two World Preliminary Matches between the national football team and Singapore must be won no matter what, which is not only the key to advancing to the top 18, but also the key to keeping the current ranking from falling further.
According to the current level of the national football team, about 15 in Asia and 100 in the world are more reasonable rankings, and there is no hope for the rise of the national football team in the future. Therefore, there is a lot of room for the national football team to fall in the rankings, and if it were not for the international football team, we might have an even more ugly reality in front of us. Of course, the national football team has always been very weak, and fans don't have to have too much gap, after all, Germany can't get out of the group stage of two consecutive World Cups, and Italy can't even enter the World Cup.
