James Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 The rankings are crap. It wouldn't matter if they had us in the top 50, the top 70 or the top 100. The system is flawed to the core. They should do away with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy_Yank Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 During the 80's the US wasn't even ranked in the top 100. Things aren't so bad for Canada. If you have a good qualifying run you'll be back int he top 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jeffery S. Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 Elo ratings has us in 57th place, tied with Bosnia and between Wales and Bolivia. Sounds more like it to me. The States is 16th. The system there simply looks at differentials and each game has points traded in function of differentials and where the match is played. We are down 6 spots over the year. www.eloratings.net BTW, women's rankings are out tomorrow, will be interesting to see what they do with us.

Andrew W Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 Maybe we need to drink more Coke to get a better ranking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtlfan Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 The good news is the Women's rankings will be out on Friday. We should be able to have a top ten team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sstackho Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 Are we really as good as Wales? I don't know much about them, other than Giggs and their Euro 2004 qualifying form (4-0 loss to Italy excepted) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redhat Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 quote:Originally posted by Andrew W Maybe we need to drink more Coke to get a better ranking? I already drink enough Coke! The rankings are flawed, yes, but the CSA must do more thing (ie. friendlies, tournaments, etc.) so we can improve as a WC team as well as those rankings. We need to identify and fix the problem(s) before worrying about rankings. What about another Canada Cup tournament with CONCACAF teams? The last one was when, 1999?

Northern Star Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 >Are we really as good as Wales?< Oh so you can actually question the fact the (not that exact) ranking says, but when it comes to Finland and Litmanen, you are superior? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that pretty much sums it up. Mostly because Giggs, unlike Litmanen, is a world class player [}] Any other questions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
