T&T finish 27 in 2006 world cup.
T&T Newsday Reports.[/size]
Out of the 32 nations that participated in the World Cup, Trinidad and Tobago ranked 27, according to a release of ranking released by FIFA recently.
Germany 2006: The final ranking.
Italy, France, Germany and Portugal. After the high drama of the 2006 FIFA World Cup™ Final in Berlin's Olympiastadion between the Azzurri and Les Bleus, and the top-class match for third place between the host nation and Luiz Felipe Scolari’s Portugal, it does not take a genius to recall the top four sides at this summer’s tournament in Germany. But what about those nations who failed to make it into this very select group?
The same criteria used to separate the sides in the group phase at Germany 2006 were used to produce a definitive ranking of every team involved. These were: the number of points obtained; total goal difference; number of goals scored.
It is for this very reason that Luis Aragones's flamboyant Spain side, who failed to make it past the Round of 16, have taken ninth place in the overall tournament classification. La Roja picked up nine points from their group matches, and ended their stay in Germany with a overall goal difference of +5, having scored nine and conceded four. The established criteria have been unable to separate a number of particularly well-matched teams. These include the USA and Iran, who are tied in 25th place.
The results obtained in Germany 2006 have been incorporated into the all-time FIFA World Cup ranking. This ranking can be used to compare the records of every team to have taken part in the greatest competition in world football. The all-time ranking appears in the usual league table format, with points allocated in the same way (three points for a win, one point for a draw and none for a defeat).
The rankings from this summer’s tournament have given rise to a number of interesting FIFA World Cup facts. Despite their four world titles, a number only bettered by five-time winners Brazil, Italy are only third in the all-time standings. Beating them to second place are Germany, whose seven matches on home soil brought them level with Brazil's record of 92 matches played at FIFA World Cup finals.

I'm not a football pundit but what I gather from the list is that they ranked the teams in this yr's World Cup, like 1st, 2nd and 3rd and then in brackets they have their over-all World Cup ranking, like their World Cup performance history. Yuh know? So that's why even though Brazil finished 5th this time, they're still number 1 over-all because they're the five-time champions.

But how is ukraine so high..it just seem weird

Berris, it's obvious that the terms "WC 2006 ranking " and "WC 2006 order of finish" are being used interchangeably....and yes they are independent from the FIFA World Rankings....not sure what the fuss is about....no where did they say it was a World Ranking, they referred to it as a Germany 2006 ranking....

Actually we would have been tied for 24th with Tunisia if we had scored 1 goal and still had 1 draw and 2 losses.
Typically, FIFA determines the ranking as follows:
1. Stage reached.
2. Points earned. 3 for a win, including in extra time; 1 for a draw, including a game that was decided in penalties; 0 for a loss, including in extra time.
3. Goal difference. Includes knockout play.
4. Goals scored. Includes knockout play.

Don't mean to nitpick, but you're wrong, I believe storebay
22.Croatia 1R 3 0 2 1 2- 3 2
23.Angola 1R 3 0 2 1 1- 2 2
24.Tunisia 1R 3 0 1 2 3- 6 1
25.Iran 1R 3 0 1 2 2- 6 1
United States 1R 3 0 1 2 2- 6 1
27.TNT 1R 3 0 1 2 0- 4 1
28.Japan 1R 3 0 1 2 2- 7 1
Saudi Arabia 1R 3 0 1 2 2- 7 1
You'll notice that even though we have the same goal difference as Iran and the US they were both ranked ahead of us because they had more goals scored.
So in the same way even with a goal difference of -3 (1-4) we'd still be behind Tunisia (3-6)
Incidentally if we had scored the goal against Paraguay their ranking would've dropeed from 18 to 21. Against any of the other teams however, it wouldn't have changed anything...

Kicker, I could be wrong but the headline say '' T&T finish 27th in 2006 world cup.'' To me that sound like ah order of finish,I agree they also say ''Trinidad and Tobago ranked 27th '' ...but what is the difference and shouldn't it be just an order of finish 1 thru 32 ? ...is no fuss really I just eh see de significance of it being ah ranking.....show me de light nah dread..

haha..yeah B I hear yuh, but yuh hadda put it in context...they didn't just say "Trinidad & Tobago ranked 27th", they said "of the 32 nations that competed in the world cup, Trinidad ranked 27th".......so the preface is what makes the difference....so in this case, order of finish & and a ranking amongst the WC participants is the same thing......let there be light (I hope ;D)

Yuh right RMA, I mistake it, ah mus' be sleepy is almost midnight here in Guam oui!! As a country T&T need tuh concentrate on the youth U-11 through U-15 to capitalize on those with the talent. We cyah keep sendin' thirtysomethings wee need tuh send some twentysomethings tuh de WorldCup stage. We had one of the oldest squads in the tournament. There is a lot of T&Ttalent in the youth clubs in the US, I know of two very talented kids one 11 and one 10 wid loads of skill even at their age, US born to Trini parents and well could play fuh de TnT national side in 2014 and beyond

Tell that to France....
You send the best players and at this time our young players do not have the experience.
-
Ras', true. If we can develop youth players, pick the best of the bunch and establish a pipeline, like a farm team to develop and expose the players to other team,styles of play (friendlies and the like) the football in T&T will flourish. One by-product of our WC appearance is the push to develop the local youth program to ages U-13 and lower. Our ranking in the WC finish is 27th but that is not of any significance. The ranking of 63rd is the one that we need tuh look at and develop an approach to better that mark, and the only way tuh do that is tuh score goals and win games at the round of 16 in 2010.

what is the issue? ranking? order of merit? everyone should know what it means because they do it at every world cup!!

I remember in 90, the only Trini or Jamaican presence were the 5 or 6 people in the stands, but the US, despite finishing LAST was in the 32. (Ah know dat is a touchy topic eh - de 90 WC)
I remember too, in 94, neither Trini or Jamaica were in the 32, but the US, albeit as HOSTS, made it to the 2nd rounds.
I remember again, in 02, the US made it to the quarters and yet again, neither Trini or Jamaica were there. I remember asking myself, 'oh dear... what can the matter be... in the WC, will Trini ever be?'
Well you answered that this time around.
Good Job. You did Concacaf proud.
Ah luv it too (to borrow yuh phrase).
