CanadianSoccerFan Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 I was really hoping for a win over Honduras more for the ranking points than anything else. I wasn't too worried about advancement with 4 points in the bag. It's our last chance before 2022 WCQ seeding to get a points boost from the continental multiplier. However, If Victor follows through with his pledge to expand the final round of World Cup qualifying then it may be less of an issue than it's been in the past.

mikey_s_ Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Below is how are ranking points should look after the Jamaica game: Loss: 352 Loss in penalty's: 381 Win: 438 (this gets averaged down with the next game) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The points are calculated as 3 points per win, 1 per draw (or penalty shootout loss), 0 per loss, and 2 per penalty shootout win. Then 0, 1, 2, or 3 is multiplied by some other coefficients. http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/fifafacts/rawrank/ip-590_10e_wrpointcalculation_8771.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 A bit disappointing that the ranking tool doesn't let you see what would happen in the case of winning on penalties. Based on what jonovision was posting I think we would be at about 409 or so with a penalty win? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought that matches that went to penalties were viewed as draws as far as ranking points, regardless of whether you won or lost the penalty shootout. I guess you learn something new every day ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we won the whole thing we would be somewhere in the high 60's when I ran a best case scenario. Like beating Jamaica, Mexico and Costa Rica would give us a huge number of points.

baulderdash77 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Yes our best case scenario has us beating Costa Rica in the finals not US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but what I was thinking was that the sequence Costa Rica> Jamaica> Mexico should end with the USA. Meaning we play those teams in that sequence, beating Jamaica and Mexico, and get to the final vs. the USA, and win it. Unless you are arguing that if we meet CR in the final it will get us even more points with current rankings, which would be true.

This is what he's saying. From here on out the best case in terms of FIFA ranking points is to beat Jamaica in the QF, Mexico in the SF, and Costa Rica in the final.

Unnamed Trialist Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 An even more disgusting thing about these Gold Cups. The US is not counted as home team, it is considered neutral ground. If this were played in different countries every version, the US would probably, on average, miss a round every two editions and have less pts coming out of each group stage. Their ranking would drop and they'd be in harder semi groups to qualify for the WC. And rival teams, facing them in GC with them playing at home, fucking always, would also get better results and the spread would narrow.

Kent Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 OK, so with the loss to Jamaica last night, things don't look good. According to the prognosis tool on the FIFA website, we won't pass any CONCACAF teams this month, and in fact El Salvador will move into a tie with us. We move from 331 to 352 points, and El Salvador will move from 319 to 352. So this Gold Cup that has gotten a lot of us all giddy, actually hurts our ranking within the confederation, which really is what matters for the World Cup qualifying draw.
