Recent news says that the national football team's FIFA ranking has slipped again, from 79th to 88th in the world, and the Asian ranking has also fallen from 11th to 13th. Seeing this news, as a fan, I felt a little lost. However, if you think about it deeply, is FIFA ranking really that important? I don't think so.
First of all,FIFA rankings are not a complete representation of a team's strength and future performance。As mentioned in the article, Belgium has long occupied the FIFA world number one position, but it has not achieved corresponding results in the tournament. Wales, on the other hand, started from 117th place in 2012 and were able to return to the World Cup finals for the first time in 64 years. Suffice it to say that ranking is not the only factor that determines the outcome of the competition.
Looking at the national football team again, the performance of the Asian Cup is indeed a bit regrettable, but this does not mean that the opportunity to go up is lost. The key is to see how we respond to the challenges ahead。For example, the group stage of the second stage of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, with matches against Singapore, Thailand and South Korea, is full of variables and hopes. If the national football team can seize the opportunity and win key matches, FIFA's ranking will naturally rise.
The Jordan team is a good example of this. They weren't looking for anything before the Asian Cup, but they worked tirelessly to reach the final and move up the FIFA rankings. This shows that with proper preparation and sufficient effort,It's not impossible to turn a defeat into a victory
Therefore, for the national football team, the most important thing now is not to care too much about the rise and fall of the rankings, but to focus on improving their strength and preparing for every game. As long as we can do our best, the future is bright。For the fans, we should also remain optimistic and support the national football team, believing that they can overcome difficulties and achieve better results. After all, the charm of football lies in its inadmissibility, and every decline can be a prelude to a rise.
In conclusion, although ranking is a measure, it is not the end point. For the national football team, the most important thing is to continue to improve, face challenges and show the best version of yourself。We, as fans, should also be confident and continue to cheer for them. After all, in the world of football, there is no such thing as a permanent loser, as long as you move forward bravely, hope is always ahead.
