Het nieuwe jaar is begonnen! Het jaar waarin het Nederlands elftal hopelijk een hogere positie weet te halen op de FIFA Ranking. Momenteel staan we met Oranje namelijk op een troosteloze 22e plaats.. Argentinië staat momenteel op de eerste plek, gevolgd door Brazilië en de wereldkampioen Duitsland. Chili staat op een verrassende vierde plek. Deze hoge posities van de Zuid-Amerikaanse landen hebben dan ook te maken met de Copa America Centanario van het afgelopen jaar, die winnend werd afgesloten door Chili tegen Argentinië.
