2026 World Cup Power Rankings: Why Colombia Belongs In the Top 5


Are South American teams going to dominate at the 2026 FIFA World Cup?Maybe not all of them, but it would not be surprising to see two of CONMEBOL's best in the tournament's semifinals. Here are my full power rankings with less than 100 days until the first game on June 11: #10 United States previously unranked FIFA Rank: 15 You know, you love them the USA. It's not crazy to put USA here in the top-10. In the FIFA Rankings, the U.S. is at 15th, but again https://www.portugalworldcupshop.com/collections/mateus-fernandes-jersey, this isn't just a World Cup; it's a home World Cup and I think that is relative to the fact that they are going to find some magic, being the host and playing in a home World Cup, more than our friends in the north, Canada, and our friends to south, Mexico.#9 Germany previously unranked FIFA Rank: 10 It's still Germany. This isn't the greatest German team, but Germany and Germans: they find a way in big moments to be big, and I think they're going to be big here. #8 Morocco previously unranked FIFA Rank: 8 Morocco, everybody's darling over the past couple of cycles. Men https://www.portugalworldcupshop.com/collections/ruben-neves-jersey, women, all ages there's something in the water over there and I think that will continue. #7 Brazil previously unranked FIFA Rank: 5 I often times have been much more bullish about the Brazilian team than my "State of the Union" my co-host David Mosse, although he's coming around a little as of late. #6 Portugal previously unranked FIFA Rank: 6 We're keeping an eye on Cristiano Ronaldo and a possible injury; who knows if that plays into it. We've talked so much about the depth that Roberto Martinez has at his disposal with this Portugal team but also the dynamic that he has to deal with in Cristiano Ronaldo. #5 England previously unranked FIFA Rank: 4 I could have put England higher, but I put them at No. 5, and they should thank me because they don't want any pressure. I do think they will wilt and fold under pressure, so I'm going to put them in at No. 5. Still, this a very good England team and you know it pains me to say that. #4 Argentina previously unranked FIFA Rank: 2 While this is a great Argentina team and they're the defending champions, a repeat hasn't been done since back in the 60s and I think it's going to be very, very difficult to do. #3 Colombia previously unranked FIFA Rank: 14 Everybody's darling https://www.portugalworldcupshop.com/collections/pedro-goncalves-jersey, Colombia. They're a great team and I do think that the South American teams will have an advantage playing in North America and specifically playing in the U.S. as we've seen before in the Copa Amrica. I just feel like they're comfortable and maybe more so than other teams. I think South America is going to have a big World Cup. #2 France previously unranked FIFA Rank: 3Now you're getting to your usual suspects, your elite teams. You can interchange France and Spain, but I'm going to put France at second. #1 Spain previously unranked FIFA Rank: 1 That means the aforementioned Spain comes in at No. 1. This is my power rankings. If you don't like my power rankings, get your own.
