Check It Out.

The new method will be applied immediately after the FIFA World Cup™, namely, when the FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking appears on 12 July 2006


The most important change to the calculation of the ranking is that it will no longer take into account the last eight years of results but only four. At the same time, all of the other factors previously taking into account (result, importance of match, strength of opponents, regional strength, number of matches considered) were tested, analysed and, in some cases, totally revised. In fact, two of the factors that were previously used (goals scored and home advantage) will no longer have any impact on the ranking


bY the way... it dosent mean that I like/support it...

World League

[Winnipeg Fury]

Canada has 2 wins (Luxembourg, Austria) and a draw (USA) in their last 3 matches (all on the road).

How many internationals have T&T played without a victory ?  Didn't you lose a pack before the World Cup ? 

I agree you had a good World Cup, but you tell me what your record is in the last 6 -8 internationals ?

[Pompey]

Ireland 39th and Scotland 41st?

I thought Ireland were in the top 20, seeing as they just missed out on world cup qualification to Switzerland who are 13th I thought they would be higher.

I also find it hard to believe there are only 40 teams better than Scotland.

who has Canada played in their last 6-8 internationals, how did they do?

[andre samuel]

did alyuh notice that Guinea is number 24.

[grskywalker]

First of all I think that the 32 teams who made it to the world cup should be ranked in that order and then everyone else. I am happy to see USA out of the top 10 but pissed that they have them higher than mexico who made it to the second round. the rankings are stupid, how the hell we could drop so low down to 64!!!!??

[arrow]

Even though we beat them twice last year, Panama made it to the Hex and the Gold Cup finals so that would have helped their ranking.  We still should be ahead of them though.

Canada had some good friendly results even though they have completely choked in the important Concacaf tournaments recently

Wales is ranked 58 and Slovenia 61 so we can't complain too much about being 64.  

At least we are rightfully ranked ahead of Jamaica and tops in the Caribbean

[kicker]

The rankings look ok to me.....There are only a few teams above us that  I think we could consistently beat, but that's ok.......nothing is perfect.

The top 20 is definitely more realistic than before...

Yes we made it to the W.C. and were not disgraced, but seriously our WC record this Summer was nothing close to what we needed to give us a boost in the rankings.

[socachynee]

People don't even look at the rankings...

It has always been questionable and will always be...

On any given day any team can be firing on all cyclinders and give a higher ranked team on paper a good cuta$$...

Don't read too much into these rankings...

Let's go Warrior Nation...

 

[kicker]

get serious .... That's something a primary school student would say....

You and I know the World Cup is not about the 32 best teams in the World....I can't believe this hour of the day, people still talking that kinda nonsense.

Doh fool yuh self ...No we did not 'lose a pack before de WC' .Unlike Canada we came on in  2nd rounds of qualifing and won the important  matches ,Panama,Guata,Mexico,Baharain,matches with meaning and for that we went to the WC.What did Canada get for your 2wins against non qualifing Luxenburg and Austria (both of which played ah bunch of junior players) and drawing with disapponting USA!! What did u get ? A trip infront the TV to watch TnT play in the WC.
There is no way Canada shud be ranked above TnT becuz what have Canada done to deserve a ranking in the top 100 when last Canada football made an impression on anyone.All yuh claim tuh fame is Jim Brennan and he making bench on a demoted Norwich team so what is your point again !! ....

p.s dah place(Winnepeg) getting to cold for you it freezing yuh brain!!

[Tenorsaw]

Fifa ain't know they head from they ass.  Yeah Canada play internationals on the road and did fairly well, but it was against teams that didn't even qualify for Germany.  We played tougher opponents than Canada and were very respectable in the defeats.  I guess the warm-up before the World Cup, where we did take a baptism of fire, must count for something. At least we're the #1 team in the Caribbean again.   

[FF]

This my last say on de matter....

This rankings while not perfect (what ranking ever is?) is better than de old one!!

AND.... WE ranking is more accurate than de old one.... especially over de last four years...

check it out... in dat period we only had good results.... from June 4th 2005 against Panama to February 28th 2006 against Iceland!

Lorses give you no points (and rightfully so) .... however respectable de performance

aks mr mc, he brought forward the question.

[Carib-Briton]

Panana, Guatemala, Honduras and CANADA over us..... what a blasted joke....

If we reach over 75 does this mean our players cannot sign a UK contract.

I don't think these rankings are even worth worrying about, they are so far off the mark.

I'm not sure if TnT nationals need a work permit for the UK do they? if so, then they use an avaerage ranking over a period of time, rather than the ranking that applies at the time of the application. Any rejections are usually overturned by appeal anyway.

Yep they do. In 2004 29,000 Trinis were blocked from coming to the UK I believe.

[futbolfan]

ok so ah hearin one setta people sayin dat de rankin system is ta ta and we should not be ranked so low.....think about it logically (TI) and give your OPINION as to where we should be ranked.

just about 64th

[ribbit]

look at all the teams that didn't qualify for WC that ranked above t&t - nigeria, cameroon, romania, egypt, turkey, guinea ... the rankings are based on 4 years not last few months.

[Observer]

All this Rankings thing is pure rubbish. Countries are just going to do what Norway and USA did. Figure out the system, play games to match them and move up the rankings. USA did it, top 5 in the World, Please! Norway back a few years Top 5 in the World. Please!
Right there people should of just steups.
