Never happen I am sure.

We get no respect

[TRUwarrior]

fifa rankings are shit
at least we movin up

[che]

CFU games to help our rankings?

T&T 1 BAR 1 (not good)
T&T 3 HAI 1 (good)
T&T 3 CUB 1 (good)
T&T 1 HAI 2 (not good)

The T&T vs MAR game will not be included in the ranking point system because they are not a FIFA team.
I guess these results will put us in the 70's

[Themanfriday]

I am also looking at a possible favorable outing on the 31st and 4th, that should do us good.

[Midknight]

alyuh even study the results of the other teams in front and around us? Didn't/dont central america have gold cup qualifiers soon?

[Themanfriday]

Well I more concern bout dem other carribean countries that boasting better position than ours

[dcs]

If these games count as continental qualifiers (Ranking System), then we supposed to get 1873 points from these matches.

Divide that by the number of mtches we played in the last 12 months and that would be the amount of ranking points we gaining.

More than likely it wouldn't weigthed as a continental qualifer but a "small regional tournament" which is same as a friendly.  Then you hadda divide 749 by the number of matches in the last 12 months to see how much points we gain.  all this not counting the points we lose from games 4 years ago and others that now being weigthed less.

4 matches in Digicel....3 WC....how many international friendlies?

According to SW.net is about 19 games 

So we supposed to pick up  749/19 ~ 39 ranking points  Doh know how much we lose doh.

If is a continental qualifer then  1873/19 ~ 98 ranking points...minus whatever we lose.

Even if we lose both upcoming games then is 1873/21 ~ 89 ranking points...minus whatever

When is the next one coming out?

I believe it will be weighed as a continental qualifier...

All the other caribbean teams games to just to reach Trinidad were treated as such.

[dcs]

I think we should at least get ahead of Canada...get somewhere in the 70s.

Italy oust Brazil to take top spot
FIFA.com

The FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking has a new leader: Italy. Following a successful year for the 2006 FIFA World Cup™ winners, Italy have managed to topple Brazil and reclaim the top spot for the first time since November 1993, ending Brazil's remarkable 55-month run at the top of the leader board. For their part, the South Americans recently suffered a 0-2 friendly defeat to Portugal, currently ranked eighth.

There is otherwise no change in the top five: Brazil are followed by Argentina, France and Germany. Spain return to the top ten for the first time since October last year (tenth, up 2).

Larger losses in February can be most clearly seen among the African teams: Cameroon (17th, down 6), Nigeria (36th, down 27), Egypt (42nd, down 23), Tunisia (45th, down 13) and Guinea (62nd, down 40) all slip down the ranking. All five teams have suffered from the depreciation in points of CAF Africa Cup of Nations matches played in January 2006. On a more positive note, several African teams improved their position over the past few weeks, with Ghana (22nd, up 6), Burkina Faso (57th, up 5) and 2010 FIFA World Cup™ hosts South Africa (59th, up 10) making notable gains.

Central America has also seen improvements, with four teams climbing more than ten positions in the last month due to successful qualifying campaigns for the next Gold Cup: Costa Rica (54th, up 12), Trinidad and Tobago (68th, up 19), Guatemala (87th, up 18) and El Salvador (125th, up 31). Trinidad and Tobago can also lay claim to the highest point-scoring match in February's ranking due to their 3-1 defeat of fellow CONCACAF member Cuba in a recent continental qualifier.

This month's ranking covers 87 new matches, most of them friendlies (74), with the remaining 13 games classed as continental qualifiers (Gold Cup, UEFA EURO 2008).

- The next FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking will be published on 14 March 2007.

[Mr Mc]

I didnt realize current matches affected the ranking so much.
How then is JA still ahead of us

[fishs]

Wimp mus be having ah Catharis. 

[redtrinigirl]

How de ass Jamaica ahead of us?

FIFA ranking system useless no ass!

[Reggaefan]

How de ass Jamaica ahead of us?

FIFA ranking system useless no ass!

You have Cuba, Ja, Honduras etc with higher ranking but all you can get vex over is Jamaica! 

Jamaica played and got good results vs Canada and Peru recently (you had good results recently ...albeit against weaker opposition the likes of Brarbados, Guadeloupe etc)

[Toussaint]

Confused. Can the experts help me?

Haiti was 92nd in Jan and Haiti remains 92nd. Cuba has been winning matches although against lower ranked teams, but instead of gaining pts Cuba actually lost 29 pts  Help, Help, Help

Maybe, we did against the team that had good results against Canada and Peru.

Mr Mc, you're not an expert, are you? 

[dcs]

Losing matches doesn't hurt u that much.

This is just about what we expected...a lil higher thankfully.
El Salvador 125th   ......now dat is ting to be vex about   

[Peong]

Haiti was 92nd in Jan and Haiti remains 92nd.

Toussaint that ranking system is some crazy shit.
Best thing to do is just ignore, it not worth the worry.
Or if u know who administers it, hit dem a big stone.

Right. I was trying to figure out how Jamaica earned 4pts in the monthly ranking while the boyz didn't play a single match during that time and why Cuba seems to lose 29 pts when they have actually won 1 match and tie 1 and Haiti does not move up or down despite victories over Barbados and higher ranked TnT during that same period.

(Pst: not picking on Ja. Just trying to understand the rational behind that system. Apparently, there isn't).

[slates]

Ah hear W Connection beating Chivas is seen as a T&T victory over Mex. So we moving up 2 spots next ranking.

[Themanfriday]

acctually JA still riding on points they made during ouer WC run. They acquired alot of points then and since we are playing more matches now we should catch up with them and surpass them or they just fall like normal

[Bianconeri]

wait wait...
jamaica move up a spot??

ammm...how?
who they play recently?

i check and see their last game was in Nov....that right??
and as all ya say Haiti eh move....

my side gone 1st and i still find this rankings to be bogus

ya cah please everybody all d time but damn...at least get one person!

Since they did not play any match in the past month, they cannot possibly earn new pts. Assuming their accumulated pts have not yet started devaluating, they can at most have the same pts they had in the previous month unless someone here can make sense out of that.

[Peong]

I hear Jamaica gets extra points for supplying the FIFA administrators with top-quality sensi.

Wayys...Guines was up in the 20s?  Shot back down to earth.

A lot of teams losing points but some still move up by losing less than others.  So maybe Haiti lost points from previous good results.  How many games you'll played for the year?  Cuba was the highest ranked team in the Digicel so beating them was the biggest scalp.

[dcs]

They can in fact earn points without playing matches.

The ranking points are basically Earned Points / Games Played
And games are weighted depending on time also.
So if a game they lost drops down the weight scale or is no longer counted...Earned points will remain the same but games played with go down....so ranking points go up.
