Dem rankings always suspect to me. There's gotta be a better formula that FIFA could employ.

man don't take them seriously ... I think most soccer fans completely ignored it after Mexico and the US started being ranked better than Italy

Dem rakings is pure ta-ta hole!

Australia just demolished Jamaica 5=0 and the scoreline could have been worse!

But Jamaica ranked higher dan Australia....

the FIFA rankings can't be accurate - most countries play so few competitive matches outside of their region/zone. the most they can say is about the level of competition WITHIN the region.

but even within a region the rankings saying nothing. the african qualifiers completely different than the rankings. same for other regions; denmark, greece, columbia, jamaica, etc. all should have made it.

in cricket, the schedule set by the ICC - teams are guaranteed to play each other eventually. a ranking system make more sense in this case.

why FIFA think they can rank sides this way?

That is a subjective statement kicker. In my opinion we do deserve to be ahead of a few of the countries in de top 50. Me eh calling no names because ah not in de mood to start nuttin with ah certain fellow islander.

Ah vibezing it up!

Socapro · « **Reply #73 on:** November 07, 2005, 03:34:08 PM »

In my opinion we deserve to be at least at #39 so that certain cousins up north are forced to face who is boss round these parts but we've got something much more important to deal with right now which is to put two good beatings a certain Asian team and let them Bah and Rain tears for so after our games on 12th & 16th Nov.

T&T and Soca Warriors we love you!

haha...I hear yuh....I doh really fuss up with Rankings. The system doesn't speak to "head-to-head" comparisons of teams........it's all points driven and accumulated points could maintain your position on the list for a while even if your team loses form

......and it's pretty irrelevant in the whole scheme of things.

All in all, I think our ranking is relatively "fair". We could argue that there are a few teams above us that we could beat, but I'm sure that there are a few teams below us that feel they could beat us

I personally don't think that there is much separating us from Scotland (62), Peru (63), Latvia (64), Hungary (66) Chile (72) & Wales (73).......for example

......so give and take, I think we're pretty close to where we deserve to be.........until proven otherwise.....

So Trinidad beats Mexico, ranked 5. Does that mean Trinidad should be ranked 4? Or Jamaica ties Brazil, does it mean that Brazil and Jamaica are joint #1? The rankings are not based on one match, nor is it based on 3 matches for that matter. Its an index of games played over a particular period of time. If Trinidad beats Brazil in a friendly game tomorrow, Trinidad doesnt automatically jump to #1 in the world and Brazil to 100.

Come on Socapro....you know Trinidad have always been King of Caribbean Football. You dont need FIFA rankings to prove it. Jamaica only wearing your crown (Copa Caribe) title while you persue your world Cup dreams. The title will be returned to you in time for the next WCQ rounds for South Africa 2010. I'm sure you will gladly take it back the while Jamaica persue their World Cup dreams.
