The main problem with measuring the best international football team in the world is that each country is different in terms of population. Therefore, larger countries always have an advantage because they have a larger pool of potential players to pull from. The following list will somewhat factor out this problem by rating each team by their FIFA points per head of population. This table is not claimed to be a clear cut method, but at least it gives an indication as to the teams that are punching above their weight (or not).

The US rise is due to the fact that Continental Finals matches count 3x normal. If we win the Gold Cup and get to the knock-out round in the Copa America we will be in the top 10. And we will probably remain there until UEFA,CAF and AFC finish theirs (unless of course there is an upset winner in the Copa).
