Former Champ Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Those ratings are based on a formula which will punish Canada's inactivity for years to come. I figure we move up about 3 places. (After all wasn't Belize 200th of something?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadasBest Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 We'll move up like 4 or 5 spots. If that. But who knows with this formula. But we did score 8 goals in 2 games, plus it's World Cup Qualifying so the point multiplier is a bit higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massive Attack Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 We're 90th!!!! http://www.fifa.com/en/mens/statistics/index/0,2548,AllJul2004,00.html?select11=All&cmbMonth=Jul&cmbYear=2004 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadiankick97 Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 And Guatemala is one spot in front of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Luca Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 Cuba was eliminated from World Cup Qualifying and moved up 14 spots in the rankings as a result. Perhaps we'll move into the top 10 once we get eliminated. As for the US, they are now at #7 in the World because they beat Grenada 3-2. It's a funny old FIFA world.

Gian-Luca Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 Dare I mention T&T charging up 14 spots as well in comparison to our 5, because they had the priviledge of defeating the Dominican Republic (who are ranked 169 compared to Belize's 180). It just gets better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luis_Rancagua Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 Guys, wake-up!!!!!!!!! The whole thing is a **** scam. Canada will never get respect from FIFA until we fight for respect. One way to start is by starting our own pro-league in this country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhat Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 Relax Luis, we know... I predict we'd be the lowest ranked team to make it to WC2006. The US will be top 5, and T&T (which will be eliminated) will reach top 15. :-) Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarrek Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 You have to take into consideration matches that were taken out of the formula for the ranking for the teams that moved up a lot of places. The ranking stretches back 7 years, so results in June 1997 were nullified: Example: USA Jun 16 96 D 2-2 Mexico 92,216 Pasadena, CA, USA (US'96) Jun 12 96 L 0-2 Bolivia 19,350 Washington, DC, USA (US'96) Jun 06 96 W 2-1 Ireland 25,421 Foxboro, MA, USA (US'96) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sstackho Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 Keep in mind that past results are phased out linearly over 7-8 years. So it's not just one big drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sstackho Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 Come on, some of you... If you really care about these rankings, then look at the total points (as opposed to rank) when analyzing movements. We moved up 29 points in the last month. Not too shabby. Here are all the CONCACAF comparisons. The format is: WCQ Opponent 1 (June pts - June rank) v WCQ Opponent 2 (June pts - June rank) FT WCQ Result 1 FT WCQ Result 2 WCQ Opponent 1 (July pts change - July rank change) v WCQ Opponent 2 WCQ Opponent 1 (July pts change - July rank change) Netherland Antilles (203 pts - 171st) v Honduras (547 - 55th) FT Netherland Antilles 1:2 Honduras FT Honduras 4:0 Netherland Antilles Netherland Antilles (+7 pts +2 rank) v Honduras (+6 pts +1 rank) Haiti (487 - 88th) v Jamaica (553 - 51st) FT Haiti 1:1 Jamaica FT Jamaica 3:0 Haiti Haiti (-1 pt -3 rank) v Jamaica (+12 pts +2 rank) Surinam (271 - 154th) v Guatemala (493 - 87th) FT Surinam 1:1 Guatemala FT Guatemala 3:1 Surinam Surinam (+23 pts +7 rank) v Guatemala (+8 pts -1 rank) Cuba (510 - 80th) v Costa Rica (652 - 26th) FT Cuba 2:2 Costa Rica FT Costa Rica 1:1 Cuba Cuba (+24 pts +14 rank) v Costa Rica (-2 pts -3 rank) Canada (466 - 95th) v Belize (156 - 180th) FT Canada 4:0 Belize FT Belize 0:4 Canada Canada (+29 pts +5 rank) v Belize (+5 pts +0 rank) Barbados (416 - 113th) v St. Kitts and Nevis (393 - 120th) FT Barbados 0:2 St. Kitts and Nevis FT St. Kitts and Nevis 3:2 Barbados Barbados (-5 pts -3 rank) v St. Kitts and Nevis (+38 pts +12 rank) Panama (393 - 120th) v St. Lucia (371 - 128th) FT Panama 4:0 St. Lucia FT St. Lucia 0:3 Panama Panama (+42 pts +14 rank) v St. Lucia (-2 pts +1 rank) Dominican Republic (202 - 172nd) v Trinidad and Tobago (515 - 77th) FT Dominican Republic 0:2 Trinidad and Tobago FT Trinidad and Tobago 4:0 Dominican Republic Dominican Republic (+8 pts +3 rank) v Trinidad and Tobago (+21 pts +14 rank) Nicaragua (234 - 161st) v St. Vincent / Grenadines (229 - 163rd) FT Nicaragua 2:2 St. Vincent / Grenadines FT St. Vincent / Grenadines 4:1 Nicaragua Nicaragua (+4 pts +1 rank) v St. Vincent / Grenadines (+44 pts +10 rank) El Salvador (442 - 104th) v Bermuda (223 - 164th) FT El Salvador 2:1 Bermuda FT Bermuda 2:2 El Salvador El Salvador (+5 pts +2 rank) v Bermuda (+10 pts +2 rank) USA (724 - 9th) v Grenada (329 - 128th) FT USA 3:0 Grenada FT Grenada 2:3 USA USA (+11 pts +2 rank) v Grenada (+2 pts +0 rank) Dominica (209 - 168th) v Mexico (735 - 4th) FT Dominica 0:10 Mexico FT Mexico 8:0 Dominica Dominica (+6 pts +1 rank) v Mexico (+8 pts -2 rank) Surprised that Grenada only moved up 2 points after scoring two against the USA! Although keep in mind that points are also affected by the passing of time of previous results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Former Champ Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 I used to subscribe to World Soccer magazine (a gooder), and they stopped acknowledging the FIFA ranking years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Luca Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 I don't really care about the rankings (outside of making it easier for some of our players to get UK jobs), I just like to ridicule them. As far as our team's perception in the general public, it is unfortunately affected by the FIFA rankings (I'm not saying it is right, just the reality) and they will not care that Canada went up "29 points" - they won't care because that info will not be reported anywhere, just that Canada went up 5 spots.

Grasshopper Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 Yes, Luis. It's going to be great when we get our league. Unfortunately, these leagues don't make a lot of money from guys who post like they're the world's greatest supporters on the internet, but never go to games.
