Today’s FIFA rankings show that Trinidad and Tobago at #99 has achieved it’s lowest FIFA ranking since October 2010, and its third lowest ever since the rankings were introduced in August 1993. We are now 11th in CONCACAF and 4th in the Caribbean.

The Trinidad and Tobago National Senior Team slumped to their lowest international ranking in seven years today, as FIFA listed the Soca Warriors as 99th in the world, joint 10th in CONCACAF and fourth in the Caribbean.

Or, to put that into context, the last time the Warriors were ranked this low was in 2010 when then head coach Russell Latapy’s team were eliminated by Grenada in the group stage of the Caribbean Cup. Trinidad and Tobago were subsequently ranked 106th in the world.

Today’s FIFA rankings mean the Warriors have fallen a remarkable 50 places since David John-Williams was elected as Trinidad and Tobago Football Association (TTFA) president in November 2015.

At present, Trinidad and Tobago are on a seven game losing streak while current head coach Dennis Lawrence has won just two from 10 outings—against Panama and Barbados—since his appointment in February.

John-Williams recently told the media that Lawrence, a former assistant coach at Everton but now on his first assignment as head coach, will be given time to rebuild the national team. But the figures do not suggest that the Warriors have improved under the current coach or president; and, arguably, again put the president’s sacking of former coach Stephen Hart into focus.

Trinidad and Tobago were ranked 87th in the world by FIFA when then TTFA president Raymond Tim Kee announced the hiring of Hart as head coach.

And by the time John-Williams replaced Tim Kee at the helm, three years later, the Warriors—under Hart—had soared to 49th in the world and were fourth in CONCACAF and first in the Caribbean.

Had Trinidad and Tobago retained that average FIFA ranking, it would have meant that local footballers would be eligible for work permits in Britain for the first time since 2006.

Instead, the Warriors’ fortunes went in the opposite direction.

Soca Warriors down sixteen spots.
T&T Guardian Reports.


ST JOHN’S, Antigua—T&T has taken a tumble in the latest FIFA rankings following their poor form in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers, and are on the brink of slipping out of the top 100 in the world.

In the rankings released yesterday, the Caribbean powerhouse slipped 16 places to 99th, fourth in the Caribbean Football Union rankings led by French nation Haiti.

T&T has endured a recent tough run of results in their World Cup qualifying campaign.

Earlier this month, they lost 2-1 to Honduras in Port of Spain before also going down 3-0 to Panama in Panama City, to suffer elimination from the competition.

T&T lies at the bottom of the six-team standings on three points with seven defeats and a single win, with two matches remaining in the tournament.

Meanwhile, Haiti jumped seven places to be 48th in the FIFA rankings, and continue at the top in CFU. They widened their gap on Jamaica who remained second in CFU but slipped four places in the world rankings to 61st.

Curacao were unmoved, remaining third in CFU and 86th in the FIFA rankings.

St Kitts enjoyed a healthy bounce, leaping 11 places to 114th in the world rankings to be sixth in CFU.

Suriname, fifth in CFU, slipped four places overall to 111th in the world rankings.

Guyana also experienced positive movement, rising seven places to 156th to be eighth in CFU while Dominica also rose six spots to be 171st and 13th in the regional rankings. (CMC)

In 2010, Iceland was ranked 112th in the world....Today they are ranked 22nd.

Iceland is a country with less than 350,000 people and where the head coach works on the side as a dentist.

Whatever lies we keep feeding ourselves seriously need to end.

T&T drop to lowest FIFA ranking since 2010; Warriors now 50 places below pre-DJW position.
By Lasana Liburd (Wired868).


The Trinidad and Tobago National Senior Team slumped to their lowest international ranking in seven years today, as FIFA listed the Soca Warriors as 99th in the world, joint 10th in CONCACAF and fourth in the Caribbean.

To put that in context, the last time the Warriors were ranked this low was in 2010 when then head coach Russell Latapy’s team was eliminated by Grenada in the group stage of the Caribbean Cup. Trinidad and Tobago were subsequently ranked 106th in the world.

Today’s FIFA rankings mean the Warriors have fallen a remarkable 50 places since David John-Williams was elected as Trinidad and Tobago Football Association (TTFA) president in November 2015.

At present, Trinidad and Tobago are on a seven-game losing streak while current head coach Dennis Lawrence has won just two of 10 outings—against Panama and Barbados—since his appointment in February.

John-Williams recently told the media that Lawrence, a former assistant coach at Everton but now on his first assignment as head coach, will be given time to rebuild the national team. But the figures do not suggest that the Warriors have improved under the current coach or president and, arguably, again put the president’s sacking of former coach Stephen Hart into focus.

Trinidad and Tobago were ranked 87th in the world by FIFA when then TTFA president Raymond Tim Kee announced the hiring of Hart as head coach.

And by the time John-Williams replaced Tim Kee at the helm, three years later, the Warriors—under Hart—had soared to 49th in the world and were fourth in CONCACAF and first in the Caribbean.

Had Trinidad and Tobago retained that average FIFA ranking, it would have meant that local footballers would be eligible for work permits in Britain for the first time since 2006.

Instead, the Warriors’ fortunes went in the opposite direction.

The decline was gradual at first. Hart lost 10 of his first 30 internationals—three of those defeats were on kicks from the penalty mark—as head coach. But, once teamed up with John-Williams, he lost eight of his next 13 matches.

There were several on-field factors. After a one-year absence with a broken leg, ace midfielder Kevin Molino returned to the national team in March 2016 but, despite a hattrick against the Dominican Republic, the MLS player did not inspire in the big matches. Worse, Molino was involved in two distracting incidents when he broke team curfews to party before competitive fixtures.

He was fined for the first indiscretion and given a temporary ban for the second.

Perhaps just as significant was the form of team captain and forward Kenwyne Jones, who swapped the England Premier League for the United Arab Emirates in January 2016 and then, six months later, moved to Central FC in the local Pro League.

In 2015, Jones scored four times—including competitive goals against Mexico, Panama and Guatemala. But in 2016, with his professional career in flux and struggling with injury, the giant forward’s only international goal came in a 6-0 rout of St Vincent and the Grenadines.

Off the field, there were early signs that the president and head coach Hart were not singing from the same hymn sheet.

The John-Williams-led TTFA’s first act was to tell the players that they would be paid match fees when the football body was good and ready to pay up—a stance exacerbated by a media statement in which the FA told the public that the players “were not out of pocket.”

Hart moaned then that the stand-off between players and administrators was not helpful and had basically destroyed their preparation for a Copa America Centenario Play-off against Haiti, which the Warriors lost 1-0.

The big confrontation came in May 2016 when, after Hart turned down the offer of a friendly game coming from the TTFA, John-Williams allegedly walked into a national training session and asked the players whether they wanted to play the match anyway—and essentially invited them to overrule their coach.

John-Williams claimed he had Hart’s blessing to interrupt the session but his coach never corroborated the president’s version of the story. And Hart never got another friendly international as Warriors’ coach.

In November 2016, after three losses in his last four matches—one in extra time against Martinique—Hart was summoned to a meeting at the Ruby Tuesdays Restaurant in Grand Bazaar and told that his services were no longer required.

Trinidad and Tobago were ranked 78th in the world at the time and, during his three-year spell in charge, Hart’s troops lost just two of 12 home matches, a friendly against Panama and a World Cup qualifier against Costa Rica.

With John-Williams leading the negotiations, the TTFA Board turned to obscure Belgian Tom Saintfiet—a former Bangladesh coach—who promptly lost his first two competitive matches against Suriname and Haiti at Couva and quit before he was pushed.

When Lawrence, a former 2006 World Cup hero, was hired in February 2017, the Warriors had already slipped six spots to 84th.

Lawrence started brightly enough with a friendly win over Barbados and a 1-0 triumph over Panama in his first competitive match on 24 March 2017. The Warriors have not won a game since.

Six months later, Trinidad and Tobago have slumped a further 15 spots to 99th in the world.

John-Williams’ enthusiasm about his own contribution to local football has not been reflected in the FIFA rankings just yet.

The real measure of a man's character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.

T&T now CFU No 3 behind Haiti, Jamaica.
T&T Guardian Reports.


KINGSTON—T&T’s emotional World Cup qualifying victory over the United States last Tuesday have propelled them to third in the Caribbean Football Union rankings after the release yesterday of the World Rankings by the sport’s world governing body.

The Soca Warriors earned a significant jump in the World Rankings issued by FIFA, moving up 16 places to 83rd, making them the biggest movers in the Caribbean, following their emotional 2-1 victory that zapped the United States’ claims for a place in the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.

The result was sweet revenge for the two-island republic, after the Americans dealt them a similar blow in qualification for the 1990 FIFA World Cup in Italy.

Though the Soca Warriors lost 3-1 on the road against Mexico two Fridays ago in San Luis Potosi that did not seem to hurt them too much and they have move moved past Curacao in the CFU Rankings, leaving only Haiti and Jamaica ahead of them, with St. Kitts & Nevis rounding out the top five.

The Haitians drew 3-3 with hosts Japan in an international friendly last Tuesday in Yokohama in their first action in more than a year, but it was still good enough to help them earn the CFU top spot that they have held for the last 13 months, though they dropped eight places in the World Rankings to 56.

With very few matches played by other regional sides since the previous rankings, it meant that many of them have lost ground in the rankings and some have benefited thanks to results from elsewhere around the world which has also seen a shake-up in the rest of the CFU top-10.

Antigua & Barbuda and Suriname have held onto their places in the top-10, but has swapped places, being sixth and seventh respectively. The Antiguans however, were the biggest losers in the region, dropping 19 places in the World to 136th.

Grenada and Barbados have been the great beneficiary of the slide out of the top-10 by Guyana. They are now eighth and ninth ahead of the 10th-placed Dominican Republic with the Barbadians making a notable 10-place jump in the World Rankings to 160th.

The Guyanese dropped nine places in the World Rankings to 165 and was 11th in the CFU.

FIFA announced that Peru have climbed into the top-10 of the World Rankings for the first time in an edition marked by the recent, decisive FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

The next World/CFU rankings will be published on November 23. - (CMC)

Soca Warriors slip in FIFA rankings.
T&T Guardian Reports.


After achieving a jump of 16 places in the October 2017 rankings, T&T has dropped six spots to 89th in this month’s Fifa/Coca Cola rankings.

The Soca Warriors’ drop comes following two underwhelming draws against Grenada and Guyana on the two Fifa dates in November.

The Dennis Lawrence-coached team which has been unsuccessful in qualifying for next year’s World Cup in Russia is now 9th in the Concacaf region and sits behind the likes of Jamaica, 54th overall, Haiti (57th), and Curacao (84th) in the Caribbean.

St Kitts and Nevis (113th), Antigua and Barbuda (140th) and Barbados (154th) are the next closest ranked Caribbean teams.

Mexico continues to lead the way in Concacaf with an overall world ranking of 16th while the USA moved up three spots since their last ranking to sit at 24th despite their failure to qualify for the World Cup.

Costa Rica (26th), Jamaica, Panama (56th) and Honduras (70th) are all in the confederation’s top ten.

This is the final Fifa ranking before the draw for the Russia World Cup takes place on December 1 in Moscow and the conclusion of 2018 Fifa World Cup qualifiers have made their mark on the latest world ranking.

Senegal and the winners of the European zone play-offs among the biggest climbers.

The Lions of Teranga have, in fact, risen to 23rd—their highest-ever position on the global ladder—on the back of securing a first World Cup place since 2002. They are now the top-ranked African nation, having leapfrogged fellow Russia 2018 qualifiers Tunisia (27th, up 1) and Egypt (31st, down 1).

Europe’s play-off kings are also on the up, with Switzerland (8th, up 3), Denmark (12th, up 7), Croatia (17th, up 1) and Sweden (18th, up 7) having climbed a combined total of 18 places. The Swiss have, as a result, returned to the top ten, while the Swedes earned this edition’s highest points total following their 1-0 aggregate win over four-time world champions Italy.

The ranking’s top five—Germany, Brazil, Portugal, Argentina and Belgium all maintained their positions from the October edition.

The real measure of a man's character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.

Warriors slip six spots in rankings; T&T friendly against Guyana fails to get FIFA sanction
By Lasana Liburd (Wired868.com).


The Trinidad and Tobago National Senior Team slipped six spots in the latest FIFA rankings today, after failing to record any wins in the last international match window against Grenada and Guyana at the Ato Boldon Stadium in Couva.

The Soca Warriors are now 89th in the world—some five places lower than they were when Dennis Lawrence was appointed head coach in February—and ninth in CONCACAF, where they are behind regional outfits, Jamaica, Haiti and Curaçao.

FIFA calculates its rankings using a formula that considers result, importance of match (whether friendly or competitive), strength of opponent and strength of confederation. The South America confederation is ranked highest, followed closely by Europe while Africa, Asia, Oceania and North and Central America and the Caribbean are tied last.

Only one of Trinidad and Tobago’s last two outings was considered  a full international and counted towards the rankings, though.

There has been debate as to which football body should bear responsibility for failing to submit paperwork to FIFA for the friendly between Trinidad and Tobago and Guyana on 14 November.

Trinidad and Tobago Football Association (TTFA) general secretary Justin Latapy-George assured Wired868 that the host organisation did its job.

“The Grenada game received full sanctioning from FIFA,” said Latapy-George. “Guyana didn’t submit info in a timely manner [so that match] could only be played as a practice game. There was a challenge on their end in getting the full documentation to FIFA.”

Whether a 1-1 home draw to Guyana—then ranked 165th in the world—would have benefitted Trinidad and Tobago is another story.

Ironically, Guyana still climbed one spot to 164th while Grenada, who drew 2-2 with the Warriors, dropped three places to 160th.

The real measure of a man's character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.

So after being kings of the Caribbean in the '80's and early '90's where allyuh think we rank now? just in the Caribbean.
I say Jamaica, Haiti,Curacao,and Martinique definitely above us right now, so for me, the highest is 5th, so we cyar even make a semi final in ah Caribbean tournament. We may be tossing up with Bermuda and Cuba without defections. Tonight we'll see with Guyana.
Who knows, we may not even make a Caribbean top 10 right now..... Guadeloupe, Fr Guiana.

Don't be fooled by this. We have been playing one match per international break while other teams play two.

...

Our ranking has completely fallen through the floor.
There is no strategy, direction or plan in the scheduling of friendlies to move the ranking forward. We just playing whoever like a lucky dip.
...

This is all on this admin.

Exactly. Part of the remit of federation should be charting a way forward to improving the ranking of the senior national teams.
We have no clear plan or direction in that regard

Precisely the point made here:

Quote
During the course of three calendar years, the national team’s ranking has plummeted almost 50 places. Nevertheless, the squad’s rank is not exclusively a complete reflection of Trinidad and Tobago’s quality on the field, or of the program’s budget limitations, but is also indicative of internal policies that are not strategically directed to the key indicators that most influence positive movement in the rankings".

Even if you prefer ELO rankings, we've plummeted from 58 to 107, just below Kazakhstan.

Soca Warriors ranked 102nd by FIFA, four places outside worst ever ranking.
Wired868.com.


The Trinidad and Tobago Men’s National Senior Team remain outside of FIFA’s top 100 nations as the Soca Warriors placed 102nd from 211 football nations in the latest global rankings.

The Warriors, who are coached by former international defender and 2006 World Cup hero Dennis Lawrence, are 14 matches without a win and yet to celebrate a result in 2019. They are just four places above their worst ever ranking of 106th, which they slunk to in October 2010 under then head coach and iconic past player Russell Latapy.

Trinidad and Tobago were 54th when current Trinidad and Tobago Football Association (TTFA) president David John-Williams replaced his predecessor Raymond Tim Kee in November 2015. Four days after his electoral success and before the Warriors’ first game of his tenure, the Men’s National Senior Team climbed to 54th place under then coach Stephen Hart. However, the results have since deteriorated drastically.

Trinidad and Tobago are due to play away to Honduras in their next international fixture on Sunday 17 November at the Estadio Olimpico Metropolitano in San Pedro Sula. If the Warriors lose, they are in danger of demotion to Concacaf’s second tier and will also miss out on the Concacaf 2021 Gold Cup.

Trinidad and Tobago have already failed to qualify for the Concacaf Hex for the Qatar 2022 World Cup.

John-Williams, who insisted that Trinidad and Tobago’s football improved after he fired Hart, is pushing for re-election at the TTFA’s AGM on 24 November.

The real measure of a man's character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.

A year later, there's good news. No slide nor climb. Stuck on 72. A gift of the virus.
