Tuscan Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 This one will count towards our updated April ranking or our May ranking first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonm Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 We beat a 37th rank team on the road. Things are looking very good towards the Gold Cup Also 489 more FIFA ranking points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdroze Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Any math/FIFA Rankings wiz's here who could elaborate on what kind of points jump we might see from this? This win adds almost 50 points for the April rankings. This puts us momentarily back into 8th spot in CONCACAF for April, ahead of El Salvador who had overtaken us for 8th with their win last week against Cuba. And for a few hours at least, we're just 13 points behind Cuba in 7th. What really matters to me though, is which month's rankings will be used for WCQ, and I don't think that's been confirmed yet (there has been mention of March, May, and July). This win also adds almost a hundred points for the July 2011 rankings, which is actually quite important for the off chance that they decide to use the July rankings for the WCQ seeding.

Guest Ed Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Truthfully we'll never know what contribution Rob made to this one. I guess Gerry and MB are the only ones who can take an objective look at his contribution today. At least they would likely be more 'objective' than the Friend bashers here.

JamboAl Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Hopefully someone (maybe Max or SN) will upload a video of the goal and some highlights onto youtube, even if it's from a shaky camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshieScores Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Also 489 more FIFA ranking points. That sounds about right... Too lazy to caluclate the whole thing myself Although friendlys are only 1 x multipliers but due to the fact that we beat a much higher ranked team (200 - 37 / 100) give us 1.6 x multiplier on the opponent strength.

derofan Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Makes me wish we didnt mess up that Greece game a tie or a win in that one would of really boosted our rankings but im so happy for our lads keep up the good work on to June 1st Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Bob Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 At least they would likely be more 'objective' than the Friend bashers here. Objective? You think we all have some personal reason to think that Rob Friend is crappy which biases us and blinds us to his magnificent abilities? Wait, why am I *****ing? We beat Belarus and, by the tweets of it, a fine performance it was. A moral victory to go along with an actual victory. Bravo, Canada! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow wow hold on. What is the mathematics behind how many points we are awarded, and could someone illustrate using this match's outcome as an example? I realize that quoted above is how to get the multiplier (at least approximately) but I'd like to see a start to finish "How To Apply FIFA Points" so that I could start doing it with all our games. Actually, a link to a site (be it FIFA's or another) with an illustration of how it works could suffice, thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munseahawk Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 There's a nice breakdown on wikipedia on how the ranking points for any match are calculated. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Rankings Using today's match as an example. Win 3.0 Friendly 1.0 Opponent Strength 200-37/100 = 1.63 Regional Strength 1.00(UEFA)+0.88(CONCACAF)/2 = 0.94 Points = 100*(3*1*1.63*0.94) = 459.66 which is rounded to 460 points.

BuzzAndSting Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 This is a great win for Canada. I know we've had a couple hiccups in the last calendar year but I honestly beleive that things are finally falling into place. Leading into the next calendar year I expect a win at home on June 1, a semi final appearance in the GC and an undefeated first round of WCQ. Unrealistic?

rdroze Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Yep, but to get our current rankings points you then have to average the past results for four separate one-year periods, weight the averages based on how old they are, and then add the weighted averages. To track it properly you need quite a bit of data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canada Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Great win. My boy is turning into a scoring machine as he has also been doing well in houston with 2 goals in preseason games. Now if he can finish in regular season, all will be good. Well earned victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, we should remain in 8th. We haven't been below 8th for some time, so it's working out for us. We were 9th in August 2010, I don't think they'll be using those rankings for WCQ...

jonovision Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 First clean sheet in nearly two years. Last was the group stage of the 2009 Gold Cup, when Canada blanked El Salvador 1-0 on July 7th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFC07 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Where I can see highlights for this game? Anyway, sounds like Canada played well. It will be interesting to see who starts for us in Gold Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonovision Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 ^ People around here seem to be suggesting that Borjan will be the man for the Gold Cup as Lars Hirschfeld will be in the middle of his Norwegian season. Not 100% certain of this, as Hirschfeld has missed matches before to play for Canada, but a good assumption. I think the message sent by giving each keeper a half is that both are very much part of the picture for when WCQ starts this fall. #1 and #1a situation.

Keegan Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I wonder where this puts Ledgerwood and Pacheco for the Gold Cup, we have so many options now its tough to break it down. Personally I've never seen Ledgerwood as someone who would challenge for a spot in a full team but maybe Hart sees it differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loyola Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Funny to read Hainault giving credit to Friend for drawing 2-3 defenders on him on the CK that led to his goal. Maybe Andrew read this board. El Hombre, you'll have to find the message where I said OO was great against Greece or Ukraine. The only thing I said is that he was better, specially in the build up than Friend (who lost possession too many times against Greece). I just think he's worth keeping a look at because he's more mobile than Friend and probably as good in the air. Good result today, glad we can finally keep a clean sheet. I'm looking forward to hear from Max and Dobson about their view of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree. That's all. I thought Friend was the better of the two and that's why I have him as my #2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingback6 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Thanks for that Loyola, and to others who stand up for Friend. Take note Lord Bob... there is more to being a striker than SCORING GOALS... Especially in today's football... good thing classy guys like Haineault, and smart ones like Hart are running this team and not 'fans' like you oh and that's 2-1-1 in the last four... 2 wins, 2 Rob Friend starts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
