Coops,
There was just something fittingly ironic about us hitting our lowest ever ranking (under 100) in our centennial year during the nonsense that has passed for football administration in the last year and a half.

Anyone who takes the FIFA ranking seriously i.e. who doesn't take it seriously knows exactly how random it is outside of the top 60 and probably figured out that it would rise as soon as the semi final qualifiers started, provided we got points out of the games we were supposed to.

All that said 81st...and soon to be 89th isn't exactly anything to be proud off - particularly in light of the work permit situation.

        It's not a matter of being proud,the point is why waist down everybody and the whole system when we drop in the rankings if it's nothing to be proud of,regardless to how anyone feels about the rankings it affects the average T&T fan because they like to boast especially if we under Jamaica,Bermuda,Cuba etc etc By the way i feel it's something to feel good about based on what this team has been through,some i'm sure some still questioning why or how we got there.

Trust me. We didn't wait for the ranking to "waist down everybody and the whole system". We was doing it long before that.

But in all honesty,there are a few fair minded one's who give jack his jacket (no pun intended) when he deserves it. You just have to look harder.

I think FIFA needs to get rid of this ranking system because it is a joke.   FIFA rankings should not be used for anything football related like work permits or world cup qualifying seedings.  Men on hear does bash de system when we drop low in de rankings then celebrate when we move up.

Look at where El Salvador is ranked and where Haiti is ranked.  But Haiti was destroyed by El Salvador last month in world cup qualifying.

And El Salvador will presumably gain points for that victory.
There's a reason why the games are played right?

So then you agree with me that the rankings are meaningless

       Don't get me wrong guys,agreed the rankings might be meaningless but if you notice every time it's posted we are going through the same old talk,it has an effect on countries(teams/players),where/how you are seeded in tournaments,how it affects players contracts etc etc it's something we just can't disregard.

The rankings are considered over a period of time, not just the last month.

They will "come for him" but that ent mean he will go anywhere.  Unfortunately for you and others who want to discount the ranking, the only people who matter (Home Office and others who grant work permits in some parts of Europe) put stock into the ranking.

[weary1969]

Deeks everybody know d rankin is crap where d US was rank 4 WC 06 in d top 10. Like we dey eh get out d 1st round so until Gordon Brown Home Office come up wit someting else d rankings is mucho importante

WTF...anybody could explain this one...How the hell Cuba moved up 25 places to jump ahead of T&T after losing all those matches...FIFA ranking really screwed yes

[andre samuel]

I always say that this rankings thing is so screwed up, but i guess they have the fairest possible system to determin how the points are allocated.

We beat USA 2-1, beat Dom Rep 9-0, and drew with guat in guat and moved up 10 places as a result.

Who Cuba beat besides Guat?

Plus, how could Barbados be ahead of El Salvador, Haiti and Guat? lol

ah love it!!
