FIFA Ranking Thread.

[FATZ]

True, i was remembering the rankings when we beat Mexico. We may just jump into the top 50 when the November rankings come out.

[Mose]

Actually we're 53, Australia 54, and Bahrain 55. We might actually drop in the standings because Australia beat Uruguay, who're ranked 17th, yesterday.

[cm103]

we r above bahrain in the standings. they 55th nd us 53rd

I stand corrected

[ribbit]

i think we will pick up about 10 points from the 2 games. this should get us about 3 places on the list.

[Clarke]

Actually we're 53, Australia 54, and Bahrain 55. We might actually drop in the standings because Australia beat Uruguay, who're ranked 17th, yesterday.

But remember we beat Mexico ranked number 5 the other day so that might better we standings i blv. And the qualification for the cup might cause a change too.

Wonder where Trinidad is going to be placed

[Redditch Valiant]

The last one says world ranking 53, up 3 places  but the next is due tomorrow.

[Redditch Valiant]

http://www.fifa.com/en/mens/statistics/index/0,2548,111469,00.html?articleid=111469 This is a good article

[morvant]

we should be in the top 32

how de hell jamaica still rankin better than we when australia now light them up

[Redditch Valiant]

Maybe TnT will have gone up intomorrow's listing.

[Reaper2004]

i thought we got shot up to #23 after qualifying?

[truetrini]

we should be in the top 32

how de hell jamaica still rankin better than we when australia now light them up

what makes us deserving of a top 32 placing?

Curious....I know we in de WC and is 32 teams but dat eh de logic behind de rankings...so?

[skins]

Since Bahrain was rank lower than us. I except us to be rank around 47th. But i would love to see us in the 30's though. Go TNT.

[ANC2]

Ent Senegal was ranked 54 when dem went WC and duss off nuff teams. Rankings is shit.

[greenpea]

Aside ---- Prior to todays revision

Uraguay #17
TNT      #53
Australia #54

And people boldface to state that if Uraguay play TNT is a "no-brainer"...... i doh know about that... on any given day TNT could produce the magic.... 

[JDB]

Does this ranking include the Mexico result or did the last one?

Anyway beating Bahrain wouldn't do much for our ranking because they were ranked lower than us. Beating Mexico would but I still don't see us travelling far. It also depends on what results "fall off" the ranking.

Remember when we shot up to 29 based on the 2002 qualifying semis? Those points are worth less and less each year and that is why we have been slowly dropping since then.

[marcus]

IT'S HIGHLY DOUBTFUL WE BREAK THE TOP 32 IN THE RANKINGS, INFACT I AM SURE OF IT.....

[Hyperhot J]

     AWATT I need your help! It appears that many posters here seem to be waggonists and are talking some real dotishness about the rankings etc. We will NOT be ranked in the top 32 when the rankings come out simply because we friggin in the World Cup. Rankings is purely points based on wins and draws that is all. We will definitely improve from 53 maybe to 40 - something based on our results which were mostly wins after our last 53rd rank.

To all waggonists or "New" Forumites, can any of you all ever remember that in June 2001 on the day we played the US in the US when we lost 2-0, can you all even remember that at that time under Porterfield we ranked the highest EVER in our HISTORY! Eh all yuh even know that! Yes we were ranked 29th or 24th in the world if I remember correctly! Who knows for sure can enlighten me but I know it was somewhere around there.

If you all would have remembered and followed the team, then these ranking questions would not be asked. AWATT please deal accordingly with these persons. Remember you are a true supporter not because of reading a book or cramming a football test, it is because you remembered with your heart and love for your team, this time it is T&T, but even if it is Arsenal or Real etc. a supporter a true one, would not need a book, they would remember and it would touch their life based on they themselves experiencing the victory defeat etc .

All new forumites join the ride and have the fun and you all will become a better and more experienced supporter by living it, and not just reading a book about T&T football the last 20 years etc.

Myself and many other forumites know most or all of T&T's info. because we lived it and lived for it in terms of T&T football, many people can go and research World Cup games online and read in books about different country's road to the World Cup. But just being there at the time and watching it on tv and remembering it and letting it have a place in your heart is the true supporter spirit.

[Trini]

Allyuh done with this "Waggonist" thing nah....
It getting kinda stale now.

If a man dont know that much about football, its only natural our qualification will serve to inspire people.
Lets educate them instead of bashing them.

[Pointman]

we should be in the top 32

how de hell jamaica still rankin better than we when australia now light them up

Ja ranking wouldn't necessarily fall if they lose to a team like Aus. If they geh light up by a team like St. Vincent or Barbados then their ranking will certainly fall.

[TriniCana]

Australia beating Jamaica in a friendly non-Fifa sanctioned game is not going to carry much weighting on either Australia scoring points, or Jamaica losing points in te FIFA ranking. And I dont think qualifying for the world cup automatically pushes you into the top 32.  Cameroun, Columbia and Nigeria will all be missing from teh world cup, but that doesnt mean that they automaticall lose their top 25 FIFA Rankings to Togo,Trinidad and Tobago, and Ivory Coast. Key for Trinidad to move into the top 32 before now and the finals, is to play and beat teams ranked above them, at least 3 times. That will guarantee T&T making up on the 31 points gap that currently exists between them and Jamaica.

Wow, didnt know Ja was ranked 22 in the world.

[Jahyouth]

I think we will move about about 6 points to #47.

[Marcos]

rankings don't mean anything
so we shouldn't worry about it

[Trini]

They dont mean a thing on the field, i agree, but they are a very decent idea and guage of the general position of your team in relation to others.
It is the best format we have to date, and for the most part, it holds true.
