I'm romanian and personally I think S for Romania is overly optimistic. We played good finally in a long time, but the group was kind of easy excluding switzerland which was lackluster. I would personally put Romania at A or B, we don't deserve to be 2 places above croatia and italy.
it is compared to the EXPECTATIONS, not necessarily the quality.. italy and croatia just played worse than they should have.. plus many people thought romania would end up 4th-5th in the group so i think thats enough reasoning to put them so highly
I think you romanians definitely overestimate the quality of your National Team. Maybe it is because of your past (Romania was good, especially in the 90s). Now, however, the quality is on par with my NT (Albania). We albanians certainly did not expect our NT to come first. So yes, Romania deserves the S-tier, cause they were much better than expected. I am curious, however, if any romanians read my comments, as to why your expectations of the NT are so high compared to the quality of the NT?
Putting Russia into A tier has to be joke, yes they have been ubeaten, but drawing against iran, quatar, kenya and beating cameroon by just one goal… terrible year for them. D tier, C tier at most… but other countries were fairly ranked. Thanks for the video.
Great video! Sidenote on Hungary as in my opinion clearly an S year!! They are on the 2nd longest undefeated streak in the World currently (last loss Sep ‘22) which is 15months. Last time they went undefeated for a calendar year = 1976 The draws = if you look at how many injuries/suspensions they had (7-8 mostly starting players) and the fact that they didnt need to win 2 of the 3 draws its minor compared to what they are achieveing! Keep up the good work and happy 2024!
If you referring to the Bulgaria game - that was the most inconsistent and shocking referreeing I’ve ever seen…that match had nothing to do with the two teams rather what decision the referee was making, who to send off or give penalties to etc…..The universe brought in partial justice at the end as Bulgaria had 1 shot on goal and Hungary dominated the game.
@@alegz5494 exactly....that people watch euros let's thinkg little bit :) But the europeans don't watch asian afrikan probably only south america final if got brasil vs argentina and nothing more
I am still happy for my Romanian national team and I love that we proved wrong many people. A qualification to this kind of major tournament it was enough to bring us in the streets of Bucharest to celebrate and be joyful. That win with Switzerland was just unbelievable for us because, fun fact, the legend Gheorghe Hagi couldn't get a win with Switzerland that time, and our generation did. Ianis Hagi made proud his dad Gheorghe Hagi for sure, Drăgușin was the base of our defence, and lets not forget about Nicolae Stanciu's free kicks, Moldovan's incredible saves and how Coman kept the possesion of our ball, and I cant forget about Alibec and Pușcaș ans Mihăilă. All the players were absolutely incredible, and I thought you will put us at A tier, but S tier was just unexpected. Thanks for all appreciation, HRVizak, our croatian brother
Bro I watched your video when you were roasting a Roblox tick rocker and yes Romania had a great run which shocked me and many, hopefully you can continue this form.
If it is based on expectation San Marino should be S. Why do I say that They broke their own record and scored in 3 games in a row. Thats a huge succes for a country that is without chance of even winning a single game. They only won 1 game in their history (2004 against Lichtenstein) What more do you expect for them? Its basically the best San Marino year ever. Instead of high defeats they managed to play close games against Finland and Danemark.
I'm super hyped to see Romania in the euros. Even managed to get lucky and got a ticket for their match in Germany for the group stage. Will be supporting them like crazy. I'm from Brazil and Romania is my 2nd team because of the good memories from WC 1994 and Hagi 🤞🏻
This year is by far the greatest year in Luxembourg's football history, putting them in C tier is crazy, what would they have to do to be higher? A country that size can't be expected to ever qualify, so I think they should be at least A tier
I think they should be B. If Luxembourg really got an A, then San Marino also should because it’s also their best year and they couldn’t be expected to qualify.
@@_RayNotHere_ I would say for san marino, if they get a draw its an A year, if they get a win its an S year, so I think B is the maximum they can have for this year
lol prepare to get destroyed by Greece and stop thinking u can qualify while I were in the easiest f- ing group I have ever seen. Good luck and tryna avoid ending like Gibraltar in athens
As a Dutchman I agree with your rank, even a c would be ok for me, nations league was a disaster. Back in 2022 under van gaal we looked really strong, we where such a tough side to beat, arguably gave the current world champions their hardest game together with Saudi. Things went how they went unfortunately, but I think we together with France England and Croatia where the best European sides. Since 2019/2020 our squad has been more than fine, and more and more players break trough in European top leagues at the moment. It’s balanced, Frenkie and Virgil and de ligt (if not injured) stand above all in terms of qualities imo but underneath them there really is a huge pool of brilliant players to pick from. This team needs a worldclass manager for the next upcoming years if they want to finally win something, and I’m not sure if koeman is the right fit yet. But he is yet to work with a fully fit squad without injuries or sickness, gotta give him that one tho.
@@thejason347 true, be we wanted to win it because it would be special playing in our home country. We Dutch ppl expected so much and we got absolutely nothing
I didnt thought you would have put san marino in D but you actually also base off expectation and them putting good fights in the euro is good enough to make them atleast D or C
Two points is pretty strong for Andorra, given that they are pretty much in the same boat as San Marino, Gibraltar or Liechtenstein. C or D would be more fitting. I also would've put Luxembourg higher, either A or B.
@@WhoMadeThisBurger69 we were unbeaten, What else do we need? We beaten Serbia twice Ik know we had a lot of injuries so we did a few draws, thats why i kinda agree Bruh
As a Russian, I wouldn't rate our team anywhere near the top. Despite the fact that we didn't lose any games in 2023, our team looked appalling - the games were super boring with random goals and no interesting tactics. 90% of the players say that they have no motivation playing friendlies, so that probably explains it. The only game we didn't look terrible at was against Cuba, which is ranked 169 in the world by FIFA. Fun fact: the Cuban team lost part of their equimpent before arrival, so they had to buy shoes at a regular sports clothing store. That tells a lot about how easy it was to play against them. I'd say that we have some talented players (Golovin, Kuzyaev, Miranchuk), but we are far from being the same team that reached the quarterfinals of a World Cup in 2018. If we get unbanned from tournaments, I don't expect us even qualifying for a World Cup any time soon. My rank would be C at best - since the teams we played didn't feature the best squad or weren't very motivated to play.
As a Romanian i hope Russia will get unbanned of all tournaments because as UEFA and FIFA said politics shouldn't be mixed with football and I love Russia as a country with great culture history and religion and i hope the relation between Romania and Russia will be increased and it's already increasing but with pro Russian and anti-West political parties rising like AUR and SOS the relation will become a very good one and I hope we can become friends again.

You say it’s compared to expectations but then make it very results driven, no matter the expectations anyways. I hope in next season’s video you go a bit more crazy and “overreact” a bit if you will, just kind of truly grade them compared to their own expectations.

Anyways I enjoyed the video as always mate, already looking forward to the next edition of the UEFA yearly rankings. Merry Christmas
As an Albanian, for the two draws in the Euro qualifiers, they put all of the benched players on the field because it didn't matter if they won or lost.
I think Switzerland are very underrated. One bad qualifying doesn't mean that people can just forget about them and call them a washed football nation. I feel like they'll go far in the Euro's this year just because people are doubting them. Xhaka is doing insane on Leverkusen, Akanji is a very solid CB, Fabian Schar is one of the most underrated players in the prem, Shaqiri is still big Shaq, and Amdouni, Okafor, Vargas and Zakaria are all talented young players. They've also got arguably 2 top 10 goalkeepers in the world with Sommer and Kobel. One bad tournament doesn't mean they can't bounce back.
Yes but there is only one torrnament a year and friendlies and even if they have class players, it doesnt mean they are good. Im not saying they are washed but the expectation is not going to be high
Last time everyone thought we were dark horses but we just lost game after another, but this time under our manager and great young players like arda güler and yıldız I am confident we will do our best, I also wish a good run for all Balkan nations in this competition!
As a Scotsman I agree with A because we smashed all four teams in the first matches but obviously after the England game it began to go down by a bit. Yet we still qualified after a strong fight and I’m proud of my countries result. I’ll see the Scotland Squad in Germany! 🏴🏴
Honestly move us to C. We played like complete garbage against Turkey when we won 2-0 (Livaković/Kova had good games and that’s about it), played super safe in the NL finals, and really only shined against the crappy teams. This doesn’t even mention the fact we choked multiple games in the dying minutes of the game
As a Bosnian football fan this year was actual pain. Loss after loss, dissapointing performence after dissapointing performence. Im just happy this year is over
Netherlands wins 6 out of 8 games in qualifiers, which only loses are to France. They picked themselves up in the last one, but because of 2 matches 9 months ago, you put them a tier lower? I swear y'all are underestimating the Netherlands.
Good list, dunno about England getting an S though only because we should have won those last 2 matches against Malta and San Marino, it’s as if we didn’t give a crap once we knew we qualified. Maybe we’re just being efficient? Idk.
My list: Andorra- D Albania- S Armenia- C Austria- A Azerbaidjan- D Bosnia- F Belgium- S Bulgaria- F Belarus- B Cyprus- F Croatia- B Czechia- A Denmark- A England- S Estonia- F Finland- C Faroe Islands- F France- S Georgia- C Greece- B Germany- D Gibraltar- F Hungary- S Ireland- D Iceland- D Israel- C Italy- B Kazahstan- A Latvia- F Liechtenstein- F Lithuania- B Luxembourg-A Malta- F Moldova- A Montenegro- C North Macedonia- C Netherlands- B Norway- D Northen Ireland- D Poland- D Portugal- S Romania- S Serbia- B Spain- S Slovakia- A Slovenia- S Sweden- D Switzerland- B San Marino- D Turkey- S Ukraine- B Scotland- A Wales- C Kosovo- D
You literally forgot to mention Malta on purpose, you did not mention their performances including the one against England where you literally even did not mention the result. The amount of disrespect you have for my nation is incredible and this goes for every RUclipsr who covers euro qualifiers. And mind you we did not play against sheep (the we played 4 nations who played in the last European Championships) you never take small teams seriously I hope you take note of this !
Thank you for not putting Iceland in F, not sure if we deserve it though the only times we played well and it looked like we wanted to win were against Portugal and whenever we played against Liechtenstein.
No disrespect to Romania but they should be in A. Yes they did play a solid qualification and beat us (I'm Swiss) but then again it wasn't the hardest of groups and they still took up 4 draws. Putting them on the same level as Portugal, England or France is just a bit too optimistic. Definitely earned an A-spot though.
It’s based on expectation. Many people said they would end 4-3th place bc of their horrible run in the nation league. So not many people expected them to top the group without a lose.

@@GaSLAPENnu The Russian team only played against weak teams and even then did not dominate the matches. They won only the last match with a big score, but the Cuban team is clearly very weak in football.
Thanks for great video! But as for me Romania-A, Switzerland-C, Russia-B, Ukraine-A. Ukraine just had much more strong rivalries than other three. Also putting Russia and Scotland performances over Ukraine seems unfair
Imagine traveling back in time to 2018 and showing someone this tier list. I think the biggest shocks from each category would be: F: Definitely Bosnia when you consider they were knocking on the top 10 of the FIFA Rankings during the lead-up to the 2014 World Cup and it's truly a shame how the national team has fallen E: Germany doesn't need an explanation C: Luxembourg were essentially the whipping boys you would normally increase your GD against, but it's insane how close they were to qualifying in a group with 3 national teams that have qualified for at least one of the last 3 World Cups (Slovakia without Hamsik are just too good) B: Imagine telling someone that Moldova could be responsible for costing Lewandowski a shot at playing in the Euros A: The Albanians will never allow me to silence them, though I could argue that Poland is just that awful and the Czech Republic deserves more credit S: Romania is self-explanatory due to their results, though you could argue that Kosovo needs more time to develop its program, Switzerland is an absolute mess and Israel was never going to survive an onslaught of 4 matches in 1 week and no domestic football
As an brasilian ik i should not be here but I'm supporting for Albania especially because of the coach who trained Corinthians which is my team of hearth in Brazil
Our asociation is mostly to blame, head of the asociation is someone who doesn't like the country, the only way for us to redeem ourselves would be if we removed the people running the asociation and completely restructuring the team
Romania being in S tier is overrating it a bit. They just did not display the quality that teams like Belgium, England, Portugal or France did. Yes, they finished undefeated but they also had pretty weak matches like drawing to Belarus and Kosovo. They were dominated in the first match with Switzerland which was drawn seemingly on pure luck, and although the win against them in the second match was more deserved, Switzerland's quality has dorped down considerably by that point. Don't get me wrong, I am proud of my country's performance overall, but realistically it was very comparable to Hungary this year, so I say A tier. No disagreements with any other entries.
Jewish dude from the USA still rooting for Israel to make the final tournament (although the most important thing is peace in the region, obviously - may both Israelis and Palestinians be free from tyranny and warmongering someday), but the C is more than fair. Just like every qualifying campaign, they weren't BAD, but they didn't put in the effort when it might've counted most. And it wasn't like the last World Cup qualifying group, where the group also had Denmark, Scotland, and Austria making the job that much more difficult. Switzerland, on paper, was the only one that should've given 'em the business, and in the end, every team humbled them for at least a solid portion of their games, if not all the way to the end.
These grades are heavily based off of expectations and how it translated to each teams performance in 2023. Happy holidays :)
You to!! ❤️🔥

Yes but there is only one torrnament a year and friendlies and even if they have class players, it doesnt mean they are good. Im not saying they are washed but the expectation is not going to be high
All I can say about the Swiss team is that there players are aging & they don’t deserve to be at the World Cup in 2026
Switzerland will finish last in their EURO group. They are washed
True!
Nice!
How about Asia, Africa and so on?
It's very funny because as a romanian i'll put our country at A tbh, but really apreciate that you ranked us as an S tier national team!
Who know how Romania play an the actual tournament it could be a easily be f tier performance
Last time everyone thought we were dark horses but we just lost game after another, but this time under our manager and great young players like arda güler and yıldız I am confident we will do our best, I also wish a good run for all Balkan nations in this competition!
I was waiting for this
Thanks for saying we're good! Greetings from Romania
Hai România 🇷🇴💛

I'm a Greek and yea congrats but I think u aren't that good and u belong in group A
@@ΙΑΚΩΒΟΣΛΟΡΑΝΔΟΣ So what? Was it an easy group? What about Switzerland and Israel? Do you think it was easy for us? At least we qualified

Merry Christmas Izak Hope You Have A Lovely Time And Your My Favourite RUclipsr
As a Scotsman I agree with A because we smashed all four teams in the first matches but obviously after the England game it began to go down by a bit. Yet we still qualified after a strong fight and I’m proud of my countries result. I’ll see the Scotland Squad in Germany! 🏴🏴
Honestly move us to C. We played like complete garbage against Turkey when we won 2-0 (Livaković/Kova had good games and that’s about it), played super safe in the NL finals, and really only shined against the crappy teams. This doesn’t even mention the fact we choked multiple games in the dying minutes of the game
As a Bosnian football fan this year was actual pain. Loss after loss, dissapointing performence after dissapointing performence. Im just happy this year is over
Do Asian Cup next!
another title to the video "ranking uefa national teams by their EURO qualifiers performence"
absolutely criminal including liechtenstein's goal and not tagybergen's against denmark when they won 3-2 in astana
Netherlands wins 6 out of 8 games in qualifiers, which only loses are to France. They picked themselves up in the last one, but because of 2 matches 9 months ago, you put them a tier lower? I swear y'all are underestimating the Netherlands.
Good list, dunno about England getting an S though only because we should have won those last 2 matches against Malta and San Marino, it’s as if we didn’t give a crap once we knew we qualified. Maybe we’re just being efficient? Idk.
Great Video and it's December 25th so Merry Christmas everyone and have a wonderful holiday!

Too many S, also Merry Christmas 🎄
honestly i think Azerbaijan deserves d spot and a little bit of credit. Beating Sweden 3-0 and scoring from the halfway line was insane.
You literally forgot to mention Malta on purpose, you did not mention their performances including the one against England where you literally even did not mention the result. The amount of disrespect you have for my nation is incredible and this goes for every RUclipsr who covers euro qualifiers. And mind you we did not play against sheep (the we played 4 nations who played in the last European Championships) you never take small teams seriously I hope you take note of this !
Can you do Asia cup and Africa cup predictions please

98% except Spain
Not Spain, they lost to fucking Morroco and Japan.

We will need a tier list for AFC, Concacaf, and Conmebol
Great ranks❤😊!

As a polish person i can say in world cup we were great but our form now is like big shit🇵🇱
Yeah
Santos really putt us in bad Form with shitty tactics
Also the lack of form also putt us back
Thank you for not putting Iceland in F, not sure if we deserve it though the only times we played well and it looked like we wanted to win were against Portugal and whenever we played against Liechtenstein.
Happy Holidays HRVizak! Always great to watch videos of yours man,
Καλα Χριστουγεννα και Καλες Γιορτες (wishes in greek) from Greece 🇬🇷!!!
No disrespect to Romania but they should be in A. Yes they did play a solid qualification and beat us (I'm Swiss) but then again it wasn't the hardest of groups and they still took up 4 draws. Putting them on the same level as Portugal, England or France is just a bit too optimistic. Definitely earned an A-spot though.
It’s based on expectation. Many people said they would end 4-3th place bc of their horrible run in the nation league. So not many people expected them to top the group without a lose.
Damm that crazy
I'm a supporter of Estonia football solely because I like their flag. E-Stoners, Rise Up ☝🏽🇪🇪
Sa traiesti ❤🎉🇹🇩🇹🇩
I am Russian and I appreciate the performance of the Russian national team on D, as I watched these matches and saw not the best game from us
i hope that russia can soon start playing in international tournaments again, not the players fault that the politics are setting them back 🇷🇺
@@mosalah11thegoat But, there should be consequences for their uncivilized actions. Who even would want to play them in Europe besides Russian dick-rider Serbia? Tbh I was hoping for permanent exclusion from UEFA and FIFA, but Ceferin and Infantino, have soft balls.
@@mosalah11thegoatPlayers don’t do sh to change it, they carry a Russian passport and pay taxes to that government which uses that money to kill people.
Shut up. No one wants to see Russia at major tournaments anymore. They add nothing to them as well
@@dutchvanderlinde8034 Russians want
Вот я бы Россию вообще в D переместил бы. Ибо все матчи, в которых Россия принимала участие - все с мягко говоря отстойными соперниками. В которых игроки даже с такими соперниками не особо хотели играть(оно и понятно, не все хотят играть неофициальные матчи, да и с не сильными соперниками). Так что для России самон то - это D .
И я уж очень надеюсь, что в следующем году соперники лучше будут, по крайней мере надежда есть, как никак в начале следующего года намечается игра против Сербии
Ily🐐🐐
Andorra expected nothing and met those expectations
Keep up the awesome job...Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays and Happy New Years
AFCON is going to be great. Euros will be interesting too.
poland c tier tho
it might be a year to forget but
they put up good fights in the group stages
i think they were unlucky in the world cup cuz of ochoa then vsing argentina and france
new talents are rising.
they beat germany 2-0 in a friendly in 2023
now the bad things were
letting moldova put a comeback
letting czechia score in under 40 seconds
they deffo need a new manager
lewandowski is dropping on his form because he is 35 and they dont do much fitness training at barcalona and he was a beast at bayern
Grade every Africa national team
Im albanian and i thougt S Tier but not a tier
You forgot Malta's friendlies. We beat Luxembourg and Gibraltar. Not to pull us higher but hey we exist too.

We will make it 🇬🇪
Grade every Africa national team 2023
As a Dane, we do not deserve an A.. I would say C would fit us more
or B
Nah we just need more confidence
@@rasmusjakobsen6970 no one should really be conceding goals to san marino
Blud ranked Netherlands, Italy and Croatia below Slovenia💀💀
Good job Moldova youve been great
A Ueros without Zlatan isn't worth watching
Putting Russia on B is pure cringe. But over all it is normal rating.
It was A and what's wrong with Russia, I understand you hate Russia but why?
@@GaSLAPENnu
The Russian team only played against weak teams and even then did not dominate the matches. They won only the last match with a big score, but the Cuban team is clearly very weak in football.
SLOVAKIA FINALLY RATED BY HRVIZAK LFGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Portugal - Hungary in the final
Love from Romania ❤💛💙!!!
as a serbian albania did suprise but i think they will finish last like serebia at the wc
Fair play from a Latvian and Scotland person
Thanks for great video! But as for me Romania-A, Switzerland-C, Russia-B, Ukraine-A. Ukraine just had much more strong rivalries than other three. Also putting Russia and Scotland performances over Ukraine seems unfair
As a Finn I think C tier is fair for us. Should have been a bit better but we were never the favourites to get top 2.
Yay
Can you make Prediction of African cup and asain cup at the same video (plus knockout if you want)
Imagine traveling back in time to 2018 and showing someone this tier list. I think the biggest shocks from each category would be:
F: Definitely Bosnia when you consider they were knocking on the top 10 of the FIFA Rankings during the lead-up to the 2014 World Cup and it's truly a shame how the national team has fallen
E: Germany doesn't need an explanation
C: Luxembourg were essentially the whipping boys you would normally increase your GD against, but it's insane how close they were to qualifying in a group with 3 national teams that have qualified for at least one of the last 3 World Cups (Slovakia without Hamsik are just too good)
B: Imagine telling someone that Moldova could be responsible for costing Lewandowski a shot at playing in the Euros
A: The Albanians will never allow me to silence them, though I could argue that Poland is just that awful and the Czech Republic deserves more credit
S: Romania is self-explanatory due to their results, though you could argue that Kosovo needs more time to develop its program, Switzerland is an absolute mess and Israel was never going to survive an onslaught of 4 matches in 1 week and no domestic football
You are right
As an brasilian ik i should not be here but I'm supporting for Albania especially because of the coach who trained Corinthians which is my team of hearth in Brazil
Our asociation is mostly to blame, head of the asociation is someone who doesn't like the country, the only way for us to redeem ourselves would be if we removed the people running the asociation and completely restructuring the team
Please do one for Asia bro
Romania being in S tier is overrating it a bit. They just did not display the quality that teams like Belgium, England, Portugal or France did.
Yes, they finished undefeated but they also had pretty weak matches like drawing to Belarus and Kosovo. They were dominated in the first match with Switzerland which was drawn seemingly on pure luck, and although the win against them in the second match was more deserved, Switzerland's quality has dorped down considerably by that point.
Don't get me wrong, I am proud of my country's performance overall, but realistically it was very comparable to Hungary this year, so I say A tier.
No disagreements with any other entries.
romania 🇷🇴
Jewish dude from the USA still rooting for Israel to make the final tournament (although the most important thing is peace in the region, obviously - may both Israelis and Palestinians be free from tyranny and warmongering someday), but the C is more than fair. Just like every qualifying campaign, they weren't BAD, but they didn't put in the effort when it might've counted most. And it wasn't like the last World Cup qualifying group, where the group also had Denmark, Scotland, and Austria making the job that much more difficult. Switzerland, on paper, was the only one that should've given 'em the business, and in the end, every team humbled them for at least a solid portion of their games, if not all the way to the end.
I am sorry, but how the heck is Russia in s tier? Sinse when playing 6 friendly matches against 100 placed countries is nice perfomance?
Scotland had 4 A-Team players in their last few matches. Ofc they lost.
you gave Croatia a high score simply because you're a fan. It was not consistent with how you scored all the teams prior.
