Lol at Spain being at number 9. Spain should be in top 4 along with England, Germany and Brazil. :eh:

Spain has only won 1 World Cup in 2010. They were in the top 4 in 1950. Besides these 2 results they have never been in top 4.

Italy in post war history has won 2 World Cups: 1982 and 2006. Been runner ups 2 times; in 1970 and 1994. And were in the top 4 in 1978 and 1990. That makes 6 times they have been in the top four in post-war World Cups.

Italy has a much more impressive record.

England has won 1 World Cup in 1966 and made it to semis in 1990. They have also consistently made it to the quarterfinals. They have been in the top 8 finals teams 8 times since WW 2.

Recent performances have been rough though.

You have done more for the sport than most countires although your players are doing badly. You have the highest attendance rates in the world for matches and you do invest a lot of money in to the sport.

Achievment wise on club stage, spain is 1st by far. They have also invested in to the sport a lot and their attendance levels are pretty high up there.

Brazil and Germany have the highest ammount of victories in Fifa world cups etc

It really depends on what you judge it on.

Spain has only won 1 World Cup in 2010. They were in the top 4 in 1950. Besides these 2 results they have never been in top 4.

Italy in post war history has won 2 World Cups: 1982 and 2006. Been runner ups 2 times; in 1970 and 1994. And were in the top 4 in 1978 and 1990. That makes 6 times they have been in the top four in post-war World Cups.

Italy has a much more impressive record.

Well again, it is hard to judge. If you just take in to account the FIFA world cup victories then you might as well copy paste the amount of victories but football is much larger than just FIFA world cups...

I think that Hal Robson-Kanu's goal against Belgium should safely put Wales into the top 10 of all time.

The Netherlands and England have generally been unlucky, abysmal, something wrong is with them, but I agree that they should be in the TOP 10.

All of these nations should be tied for last. How many Superbowl wins are held by Brazil?
