Crazy_Yank Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Haiti over Guatemala? This is why the FIFA ranking suck. I wonder if it is even possible to come with a decent formula. I don't know if any of you guys follow US college American football, but you've probably heard about the BCS rankings. They look like geniuses compared to FIFA.

Daniel Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Saint Vincent and the Grenadines had a decent like 1-2 games in Caribbean qualifying and now all of a sudden they're better than two Hex teams and Haiti? Same thing for Cuba. System's retarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow!! What a joke. How can St. Vincent and the Grenadines be ahead of Haiti and Trinidad and Tobago?? How Can Cuba be ahead Jamaica, Canada, Honduras and Costa Rica? Someone at FIFA needs to get the marbles shaken out of their heads. I elect the ELO rankings to replace the joke of a FIFA Rankings. When the average Canadian who doesnt understand the "Beautiful Game" looks at these, they will wonder, just how bad we actually are? I wonder if FIFA will actually get their rankings system right. Also how can Mexico and the USA place so low? That does not make sense either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georg Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Does it really matter where we stand? Until we ger a Copach(Manager) and a system take will get us projected upwards we might as well be 150th. We have talent but no vision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David C. Posted November 23, 2006 Author Share Posted November 23, 2006 Just for fun, here is an attempt at a CONCACAF ranking (top-12), based heavily on recent World Cup and Gold Cup performances: 1. Mexico: Clearly our best WC performer, respectable (though not great) Gold Cup. 2. USA: Great WC qualifying run, followed by poor showing, won the Gold Cup. 3. Costa Rica: Third WC qualifier but modest showing, respectable Gold Cup. Most consistent of the CONCACAF "wanabees". 4. Trinidad: Fourth WC qualifier with surprising showing, poor Gold Cup though. 5. Guatemala: Almost secured fourth WC spot, getting to HEX from a strong semi group, poor Gold Cup. But are they for real? 6. Panama: Came back to earth during HEX, after passing Jamaica to get there and losing the Gold Cup final in a shoot-out. Likely to drop in next competitions. 7. Honduras: Questionable WC qualifying in a tough group but had very good Gold Cup showing. 8. (tie) Canada & Jamaica: poor WC qualifying and modest Gold Cup. Both teams very inconsistent, though with potential. 10. Cuba: Unlucky to draw Costa Rica in WC pre-qualifying round, taking the series to a shoot-out, poor Gold Cup, still unproven outside Carribean competition but with potential to scare. 11. St. Vincent: Recent Digicel Cup results lifts over Haiti as "best of the rest". 12. Haiti: Drops one spot due to Digicel Cup second round, after great first round.
