The Ten Greatest Soccer Nations

1. This is a list about title-wins right? How can it then be, that Uruguay is below Spain and England, when they have 1 World Cup more, alot more continental title-wins (15 times Copa America)and also more Olympic Gold medals than for example Spain????? I must ask – is this a list about victories in the last 25 years or is this a list about all titles, how the list is named? Only because Spain and England are bigger names in football today than Uruguay, doesn’t give them the right, to be on a higher position in this list. And how the heck can England even be on this list with only 1 World Cup and no Euro Cup? The time when England was a great nation in football is a long time ago, would be better, when even english-speaking people would have recognized that in the meantime.

   • They also are counting the leagues they have. That’s why England and Spain are much higher

2. Brazil
   Italy
   Germany
   Aregentina
   France
   England
   Uragruay
   Spain
   Portugal
   Netherlands

   • Uruguay. Por favor, respeto acá. Deletree bien este país …. con una “u”.

     Gracias!

3. Real and fair list, when titles count, must be this here:
   1) Brazil (most WM titles with 5)
   2) Germany (same number of WM titles than Italy but more Euro Titles)
   3) Italy
   4) Uruguay (2 WM titles but 15 Copas against 14 Copas of Argentina)
   5) Argentina (also 2 WM titles like France but 14 Copas against 2 Euros)
   6) France
   7) Spain (1 WM like England but 3 Euros)
   8) England (3 olympic gold medals don’t count much in this sport, sorry)
   9) Netherlands (all the time fantastic players, but have not won much)
   10) Portugal

   This and only THIS is the true list, when counting only things that are important in football (WM-title/Euro-title/Copa-Title). The olympic gold-medals are nice, but everybody knows that often the countries only play with B-teams there and NOT with the best possible team that they could sent there. Therefore olympic gold is not one of the most important awards here in soccer, unlike to most other sports where a gold-medal is the biggest thing ever that you can win in your kind of sport.

   • Good, Reasonable & More logical conclusion

   • How about the quality of the leagues they have. I think that might be part of the equation also.

     • The quality of the leagues they have? So, the local players + the foreign ones?

   • Uruguayo detectado, si quieren ponganse primeros ya que esta, jaja.

4. No. 10 is Croatia, not Portugal. Cro played one final and had one 3rd spot as well. In what world Spain and England are ahead of Uruguay. They have both 1 title and Uru has 2, even though they won first at home with corrupt referres, still.
