I was responding to the comment of Belarus passing the Swiss by 2030 originally so Nico is still going to be around but it will be interesting to watch.

Here is the list of what a Belarusian group would be with a player rating.
In my assessment, this gives (in parentheses, 2023 rating) :
1. Canada 2233 (2227)
2. USA 2225 (2216)
3. Sweden 2174 (2170)
4. Russia 2159 (2164)
5. Finland 2110 (2109)
6. Czechia 2018 (2064)
7. Switzerland 1937 (1947)
8. Germany 1875 (1862)
9. Slovakia 1869 (1870)
10. Belarus 1738 (1700)
Very big progress this year with Protas and depth. As already mentioned, I removed all those naturalized and considered as Belarusian those born in Belarus like Matushkin but that doesn't change much.
Next to that, USA is still getting closer to Canada, Sweden is still ahead of Russia, Czechia is experiencing a big drop with retirements like Voracek, Slovakia is stagnating with the withdrawal of the last players of the old generation (Halak) and remains 9th.

Most people agree that Russia, Czechia and Finland is ahead of Sweden. Whats your argument that Sweden is nr 3?

funny how Belarus is punished for Putin's actions while US and its flunkies can attack and destroy sovereign countries on their own free will with absolute impunity

Becuse many swedish fans here. I can give you 1 exemple of a serious debater in this very thread who im pretty sure has Russia, Czechia, Germany, Swiss and Finland over Sweden. @WarriorofTime
In that's the case then there would be 2 guys, not most.
Heck even if you excluded Swedish fans most people simply wouldn't take Finland their back end just isn't that good.

My quote doesn't mention you?
The other guy mentioned that you would have Sweden 8th overall in the world, maybe take it with him if not true?

I dunno why he claims I would put Sweden 8th. I think they are 3rd or 4th.
