Dutch Eagle Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 (edited) I wish Holland would be ahead. We are entering the Dark Ages of football here. The avarage of some teams here is 21 and that is just because the keeper is 30 something. Young players leave earlier and earlier. Not to mention the National team. 24 (!!!!) countries qualify for EURO 2016, but Holland failed. Edited November 7, 2015 by Dutch Eagle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RED SHERIFF Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 (edited) Very true about the Russian big spending Sheriff. Agree with your list above of countries we can't expect to surpass, with the exception of Holland. They can be inconsistent and have some years where they don't accumulate many points. They could possibly be caught assuming our sides got their shizen together. I believe we are set to overtake Holland for a fleeting moment in the next year or so...as they are set to lose points from a big season... However long term and into the future Dutch clubs will more often than not accumulate more points than GSL clubs... Long term we have a greater chance of out performing Swiss/Belgian/Czech/Turkish clubs than Dutch... I think the Czechs are capable of doing a 'Romania'.....blowing out by August for a season or two...just like Scottish/Croat/Cypriot clubs.. The interesting thing about Holland is if you look at the ladder in the Dutch league... clubs with strong coefficient points like AZ , Twente, Heerneven are down the ladder....so if they don't make Europe the other clubs that do face the prospect of being unseeded in the qualifying rounds and therefore bowing out early..leaving PSV and Ajax yo carry the burden alone... if you look at the accumulation of UEFA coefficient points for the second tier nations.....a lot of the points gained come from good runs in Europa/UEFA by the second string clubs doing well for 2-3 seasons... similar to how Greece went up to 6th spot....AEK/PAO/Aris collecting points over consecutive years in a weak Uefa cup...

pash Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 The Czech republic has increased their lead over us - 30.725 vs 29.30. Although I'm not sure if this has updated yet with today's results (as the number of teams in the competitions is incorrect). http://kassiesa.home.xs4all.nl/bert/uefa/data/method4/crank2016.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch Eagle Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 I think we will not be able to catch the Swiss and Czechs. But for the next years it was good that Besiktas was eliminated after starting as leader in their group. It was also good that Liberec and Plzen were eliminated. Rank - Country - Points - clubs still in competition/clubs started 10 Netherlands 35.229 1/ 6 11 Turkey 33.400 2/ 5 12 Switzerland 32.975 2/ 5 13 Czech Republic 31.325 1/ 5 14 Greece 29.700 1/ 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Eagle Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 After the elimination of the last representative of Greece we trail by: 5.696 points to #10 Netherlands 4.500 points to #11 Turkey 3.875 points to #12 Switzerland 2.425 points to #13 Czech Republic And they all have a representative left. #9 is Belgium but they are to far away to even mention.

Dutch Eagle Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I can imagine that, Reaper. Next year we will start on spot #13 with the following (dis)advantages: #08 Ukraine -/- 12.633 + ?? #09 Belgium -/- 7.800 + ?? #10 Turkey -/- 7.000 + ?? #11 Switzerland -/- 6.475 + ?? #12 Czech Republic -/- 4.775 + ?? ------------------------------------- #14 Netherlands + 0.304 #15 Romania + 1.050 #16 Croatia + 1.975 #17 Austria + 4.125 #18 Sweden + 5.125 Must hope that teams like Sparta Prague, Basel and Fener get eliminated in the next round.

Dutch Eagle Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Yes, but both will start in Q3. Oly in the easier champions-road. The other Greek participant in the more difficult road for runners-up, number 3/4 of England, Spain etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 There is still a chance that our champion will go to the group stage of CL and the cup winner to the group stage of EL in the upcoming European season. It all depends on who will win the current CL and EL. Frankly though I don't see Greece making the number 12 position in the rankings anytime soon. it will take several years. And the longer the Superleague remains a bourdello, the longer it will take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Eagle Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 There is always a spot secured for the titleholder and the winner of EL. If they already have qualified through their League result than the spot goes to the next in line that is not automatically qualified. And so on.

Dutch Eagle Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 You both triggerd me, Reaper and Blackhawk! Just saw the rules of UEFA. The winner of the Greek cup, not being Olympiakos, could go immediately to the GS of EL if the winner of the EL does not earns a spot for next years CL via the league. Like Sevilla last year. This makes it interesting to follow the EL for that matter. Apart from following it for the sake of some good matches. Liverpool vs Man Utd Villareal vs Leverkusen Athletic Club vs Valencia Dortmund vs Tottenham are all great games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paokarag4 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 (edited) So basically we want someone like Liverpool, who look unlikey to make the top 4 in the premier league to win the Europa? Because then they would go into the champions league via being the champions of the Europa, so that would open up a spot in the Europa league Group stage for the Greek cup winner? Am I way off? :huh: Edited February 28, 2016 by paokarag4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Eagle Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 You said it right, paokarag! Liverpool is one of my favourite teams, so I don't mind. Other "good" winners for Greece are: Valencia who are 18 points behind for (Q3 of) CL; Athletic Club are 14 points behind; Lazio Roma are 16 points behind; Braga are 8 points behind FC Porto and that team can not afford to miss CL.

Dutch Eagle Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) After last round in the CL and EL almost all of our next rival countries are eliminated after the exit of Fener, Anderlecht, PSV and Basel. A pity that Sparta Prague surprised in Rome. Especially as the Czech Republic are #12 on the list at the starting of next season.

Blackhawk Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Nothing for the next European season, where the only chance for automatic CL place is if Borussia Dortmund wins the Europa League. It has big effect on the 2017-18 season. Right now we are in 14th place and Czech Republic is in 13th place and Sparta might help increase the already large gap. The way things look right now, it will be almost impossible to crack the top 12 in the standings, which guarantees automatic CL group place in the next 3 to 5 years.

pash Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 A lot will be riding on what happens over the next few months - in an ideal world, we'd have five times make the group stages of their respective competitions, but it's likely. I remain hopeful that we'll actually gain some points this time around, hopefully at the expense of our direct competitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackhawk Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Realistically we stand no chance of cracking the top 12 in the next 3 seasons in my opinion. 2016-17 is in progress and we finished in 13th place. 2017-18 is already set and we finished in 14th place. 2018-19 we are in 14th place with 22.300 points. 12th place Czech Republic has 27.675 2019-20 we are in 14th place with 17.900 points, approximately 1.3 points behind the 12th place.

Antaeus7 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Let's put it this way, the Greek club will all have to qualify in there respective leagues and go far in order to reach 12th place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Sydney Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I don't see us getting automatic qualification anytime soon. But one thing that is embarrassing is the fact that not 1 Greek team gets automatic entry in Europe anymore, not league winners nor kypello champs, that's how disgraceful Greek Football has become. People can blame anyone they want but fact is EPO/Criminal Organisation has destroyed Greek Football, they don't even seem to give a F*** all our teams need to qualify, this is why those in EPO need to get the F*** out ASAP and those in Govt need to grow some arxithia and start prosecuting those in EPO who deserve to be prosecuted, but that sounds too good to be true.... Personally I don't see all the teams making Europa this season, hope I am wrong though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antaeus7 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Olympiakos have the best chance to go, maybe Champions League if they take care of this Israeli club and another unseeded club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
