This will make the Socceroos victory over them in June even more sweet what??? how the hell did they get top of the rankings, what have they done? The stupid thing is, the rankings is based on competitive matches, and Argentina's competitive matches are against little crap teams like Peru or Chile. In Europe we play much harder games. Even USA is in top 10 which shows how messed up the rankings are Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Australia should be rated number 1 in that case:) Seriously up until the 2 legged game against the South American 5th placed team Australia's world cup qualification campaign is a complete joke. Its no disrespect to Australia, because they aren't a bad team, its just that every other team in their sector are pathetic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wez 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2007 I may be completely wrong, but I am sure Fifa took friendlies into account when deciding rankings, until just recently Here is basically how the Fifa rating system works... This also explains my earlier question about Australia winning all their qualification games and still rating fairly low. Its since they are playing teams who would even stuggle in the special Olympics. Read on... The FIFA ranking system 1999-2006 is a calculation technique previously used by FIFA for ranking men's national teams in football. The ranking system was introduced by FIFA in 1999, as an update to an earlier system, and was replaced after the 2006 World Cup with a simplified system. The rankings were fundamentally the same as a league system, though on a much larger, and more complex scale. Each team could potentially win a certain number of points in each match, though the number of points awarded in a league system depends solely on the result of the match, in the FIFA rankings far more had to be taken into account, as every team does not play all of the other teams home and away every season, as in most league systems. After the awarding of points, the teams were then organized into descending order by number of points, with the team with the most being the highest ranked. The points allocated did not depend solely on whether a team wins, loses or draws their match, but also on the importance of the match and the strength of the opponent. A win over a weak opponent resulted in less points being awarded than a win over a much stronger one. This meant that a match would not result in the two or three points for a win and one for a draw, as is standard in most national league competitions. The calculation was more complex since it had to incorporate the other aforementioned factors. One of the changes that was introduced when the ranking system was revised in 1999 was dubbed the "scaling up", where the points on offer for a match were roughly multiplied by ten, with the addition of more factors. In the 1999-2006 system teams could receive between zero and thirty points for a single match, and the leaders of the rankings had over eight hundred points.
