[ QUOTE ] FIFA thread - I have no idea what you're talking about. Jeff Buckley thread - [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] Jeremy Piven Thread Top Down Screaming out - i have no idea what you're talking about. [/ QUOTE ] I don't see your point? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [ QUOTE ] You can easily google FIFA, or just ignore it because you don't know what it's about, instead of just being the [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] guy. [/ QUOTE ] I could ignore it but I like to know what's going on. i could also google it, but it's not hard for someone to say "it's soccer standings". [/ QUOTE ] You dont have to follow soccer to have heard of FIFA. I think most people who know anything about sports knows FIFA is soccer. douche.

Re: Anyone check the FIFA rankings lately?
[ QUOTE ]
FIFA doesn't really distinguish the differences between a friendly or a competetive( [/ QUOTE ] 3.4 Status of a match The importance of a game is also considered - a World Cup encounter is weighted more heavily than a friendly match. The method applied here is to use a pre-calculated factor by which the points totals of a given match are multiplied. The factors used are: Friendly match x 1.00 Continental championship preliminary x 1.50 World Cup preliminary match x 1.50 Continental championship finals match x 1.75 FIFA Confederations Cup match x 1.75 World Cup finals match x 2.00 This means that qualifying matches are weighted 50% higher than friendlies, continental final round matches 75 % higher and matches during World Cup finals twice as much. -I don't get how the rankings are flawed. Their waited depending on the type of match being played.

Re: Anyone check the FIFA rankings lately?
Furthermore:
3.5 Regional strength factors For 2005, the following weighting factors will apply: UEFA x 1.00 CONMEBOL x 0.99 CAF x 0.96 CONCACAF x 0.94 AFC x 0.93 OFC x 0.93 This means when England plays Spain, the game is worth 6 % more than when USA plays Costa Rica.
