Can someone post the meme of the guy at the bottom of the podium celebrating?

Only ranking that counts is the team that lifts the trophy is number one….
Which will be Scotland.

What an absolutely wild list.
Outside of their Scottish football stuff before they stopped caring. I rarely read anything out with that. Then cancelled when they moved our reporter to Arsenal.
Looking at that list I think I made the right choice

I think it’s about right but Czechia & Bosnia Herzegovina should be above us, maybe Tunisia too

Haiti worst in the tournament you say… hold our beer

“You mean there’s a chance?”

Czechia and Bosnia would expect to beat us
I think Ireland are gonna be above us in a few years as they have a huge number of players in England that qualify for them
Our best players are getting on a bit as well
Still gonna pump Brazil though

Hey everyone! Huge Denmark fan here! 🙂 It seems as if Athletic forgot to add us to the list. Oops!
Can anyone let Nick and Tim know, so they can rectify their mistake? I cant wait to watch Denmark win WC 2026!

Personally I’d rank us somewhere between Spain and Tim Spiers. (I missed both friendlies this break)

Hope Spain win it. I am there for July- early Aug.

Haiti last and we still won’t beat them.

Higher than we deserve

Very generous putting us that high. I’d put us about 42

Morocco above Senegal is a bold one.

I think japan are being underrated there. Easy top 10 on recent performance.
