Holland

honestly, there has not been a single team that has consistently been more underrated than Holland for the past 3 years. within the FIFA rankings in the last three years, Holland has not slipped under third in the world. They have been almost exclusively 2nd in the world for the past 2 and a half years. Even with this past world cup, they really did not improve. In reality, they destroyed Brazil and barely lost to spain (in all reality they should have won with Robben's two misses :) ) For example, teams that are ranked better than Holland despite having lower, and in some cases much lower FIFA rankings;
1)Germany
2)Argentina
3)Brazil
4)England ( i mean really? they can't even field a strong team right now and arguably don't even belong in the top 10)
5)Portugal
6)Italy (they did not even make it out of the group stage.... haven't played even remotely well since 4 years ago)
7)France (they did not even make it out of the group stage.... haven't played even remotely well since 4 years ago a true joke)
AKA, they are ranked 9th in overall rankings in FIFA 11 but in real life they are second.
Trust me, i understand that individually, they may not be the best, but nationally, playing together, they deserve some kind of boost that should in all reality, be a point or two less than Spain... Their back 4 (76 overall right now) was stronger than just about any other back 4 in the WC save Portugal and Spain, they deserve way better. They have a midfield to compete with if not beat Spain, (Sneijder, VDV, Robben, Van Bommel, De Jong, Elia), and RVP, when healthy, is arguably the best striker in the EPL.
This obscene ranking of the #2 team in the world is surely not merited and has been like this for 3 years. It is time for a change...|||I suspect you mean the Netherlands?|||Yes, being an avid fan and owning several jerseys i clearly know this. However, i am simply calling them what they are referred to as in the game. Which is a complete joke. I haven't heard anyone call the team "Holland" in years, they are simply referred to as the Netherlands and Holland as a shortened version. I honestly believe that they are the most neglected and most unfairly poorly biased against team in this game for 3 plus years.|||I agree that in the game they have always been underrated. I suspect this has to do quite a fair bit with the fact that FIFA had never had the license to actually have them in the game and only received this license in FIFA 10. My guess would be that in FIFA 12 this issue will be fixed.
Also, Netherlands is known in many countries as Holland so it's not surprising when people refer to them as Holland.|||why would that even have anything to do with it... this is just simply ridiculous|||

I understand what you saying but i have to agree with the guy above me that sounds ridiculous to be quite honest its because if your in the epl or was in the epl and have a superstar or high media exposure team you are rank in the game or rated better especially on the international team we see it all the time not new
