Belgium is No.2, and the Netherlands is No.8 in the FIFA rankings.
Underestimating the chances of the Netherlands and Belgium in the world Cup 2022 is like not acknowledging all the achievements they have

Well... the FIFA rankings doesn't make much sense for me. Belgium at no.2 means that they are better than teams such as Argentina and Spain, which is definitely not true. I think FIFA takes in to account matches that were played long time back and that is the reason why Belgium is in second position. At this point, I don't think that they will be included in the top-5. And regarding Netherlands, I agree that they may find a spot in the top-10. The current ranking more or less reflects their recent performances.

Exactly,the ranking reflect their recent performance and how they rank regarding the FIFA based on such data,when Argentina for example does not play games but Belgium plays some games like they did in the Nations League and win those game then those are ranked with points from FIFA while FIFA cannot rank Argentina because they have not played.This points based system creates some confusion but I believe every body that has been following football for many years they know how these rankings works,and surely these do not mean that they will be top contenders at the World Cup,that is misleading to take this ranking and judge by it for the upcoming World Cup.
