#8 Italy
It really is a surprise to know that the 2006 World Champions have fallen below the order to be placed at number 8. But you can revive their fortunes in the virtual world with the help of some gifted players.

Andrea Pirlo (Juventus)
Giorgio Chiellini (Juventus)
Gianluigi Buffon (Juventus)
Future stars
Stephan El Shaarawy (AC Milan)
Marco Verratti (Paris Saint-Germain)
Mattia De Sciglio (AC Milan)
#7 Netherlands
No wonder the Dutch have anAttack attribute that is rated 83 with the likes of Robin Van Persie and Arjen Robben in their ranks. The defence needs to improve though in order to become a force again.
Best players
Arjen Robben (Bayern Munich)
Robin Van Persie (Manchester United)
Wesley Sneijder (Galatasaray)
Future stars
Memphis Depay (PSV Eindhoven)
Marco Van Ginkel (AC Milan)
Davy Klaassen (Ajax)
#6 England
It is quite sad to see England at the sixth spot especially when you consider the popularity of their league and the quality that is available in that squad. Yet another World tournament resulted in utter disappointment. Can you change their fortunes in FIFA 15 at least?
Best players
Wayne Rooney (Manchester United)
Joe Hart (Manchester City)
Daniel Sturridge (Liverpool)
Future stars
Raheem Sterling (Liverpool)
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (Arsenal)
Ross Barkley (Everton)
#5 Portugal
There is this general perception that Portugal are an one man team. But if you go by their semi final appearance in EURO 2012 and this rating in the game, then you might think otherwise. They look pretty well balanced to be ranked as the fifth best European side in the game.
Best players
Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid)
Pepe (Real Madrid)
Nani (Sporting Lisbon)
Future stars
Rafa (Braga)
Bruma (Galatasaray)
Andre Gomes (Valencia)
#4 Belgium
Is anyone really surprised? Belgiums growth on the International stage has been rapid over the last couple of years and they even went on to reach the last 8 stage in the World Cup. Many tip them to be one of the strong contenders for EURO 2016.
Best players
Eden Hazard (Chelsea)
Vincent Kompany (Manchester City)
Thibaut Courtois (Chelsea)
Future stars
Michy Batshuayi (Marseille)
Adnan Januzaj (Manchester United)
Divock Origi (Lille)
#3 France
They are just unpredictable. On a given day, they can blow any team apart, but at the same time you can also expect them to lose to inferior outfits. They lost in the quarters to the eventual Champions Germany in the recently concluded World Cup. They have a galaxy of stars to tempt you to play with them in FIFA 15.
Best players
Hugo Lloris (Tottenham Hotspur)
Karim Benzema (Real Madrid)
Mathieu Valbuena (Dynamo Moscow)
Future stars
Paul Pogba (Juventus)
Raphael Varane (Real Madrid)
Lucas Digne (Paris Saint-Germain)
#2 Germany
Well, sometimes winning the biggest prize in World football just may not be enough. Surprisingly, the World Champions are at the second spot and not on top. With a strong Attack and Midfield attribute of 83 and a host of young upcoming stars coming through the ranks, Germany is one team which you would like to manage in the game.
Best players
Manuel Neuer (Bayern Munich)
Bastian Schweinsteiger (Bayern Munich)
Thomas Muller (Bayern Munich)
Future stars
Julian Draxler (FC Schalke)
Matthias Ginter (Borussia Dortmund)
Maximilian Meyer (FC Schalke)
#1 Spain
Spain are on top of the summit! Not just the best European team, when you take a look at their three attributes, you have to say that they are the best among all International teams present in the game despite their flop show in Brazil a few months ago.
Best players
Andres Iniesta (Barcelona)
David Silva (Manchester City)
Cesc Fabregas (Chelsea)
Future stars
Gerard Deulofeu (Sevilla)
Paco Alcacer (Valencia)
Munir El Haddadi (Barcelona)
