Football-ranking.com posts live fifa rankings. We’re currently in 50th position which is up from 55 and their about 98% accurate. We can go up to 48th if we beat kosovo on Sunday. We need to win 6 out of 6 and hope some teams in Europe drop points as that will help our pot rankings for the euro 2024 draw.

If you have it up still, 48th would be good for what # in Europe?

25th in Europe which puts us in pot 3. 1st pot has only 4 teams then after that each pot has 10 teams. We need to be top 25 to stay in pot 3 which is a far cry from the days of pot 1 or 2 that we use to be in back in the glory days. Euro 2024 is being hosted by Germany who gets automatic qualification. Once nations league is over they will use the fifa rankings at that point to determine seeding and pots for the euro 2024 draw.

Euro 2024 draw isn’t based on FIFA rankings. It’s based on uefa nations league rankings. So if we get promoted to league b depending on our Points compared to other group c winners we could be placed anywhere from 29-32. League A is 1-16, league b is 16-32.

I think pot 1 will have 10 teams all from League A, then pot 2 the next 10 ranked teams including 5 from League A and 5 from League B.

Yes I think it’s 10 a pot so if we finish as top 2 in league C we will be pot 3 (ranked 29/30). If we finish 3rd/4th out of league c winners we will be pot 4 (ranked 31/32).So getting maximum points in our group is important.

Biggest jumpers in world rankings this month! 
 

In other news, isn’t it so strange how Kosovo is ranked 107? They have some skilled players, and they’re put in between Thailand and India

The commentator yesterday said they’ve only won 2 of like 23 World Cup qualifiers so that’s what does them in I guess.

If we can maintain a winning form, stay injury free, then I believe we can reach 20-25 in the FIFA classification within 12-18 months, about where Sweden, Serbia, Poland and Ukraine are at the monent. Teams that I think we can compete with. We will need a good Euro qualifying campaign, get to Euro 2024 and pick up some good results, and then consolidate our position in League B. Hopefully some of our younger players can come through, and shine.

For sure if Poyet keeps up the good work & sticks to his plan he will get us there. What’s funny is the USA at 14th playing in such and easy region is ahead of wales, Sweden and Serbia. What a joke.

      There was no topic for The National Football team of Cyprus. Now there is.
       Cyprus dropped on today’s release from #89 to #93.

      SKIBBE SET FOR BIG DECISIONS AHEAD OF BOSNIA MATCH
       
      The Greek National Team’s crucial match against Bosnia and Herzegovina in European Qualifying for the 2018 FIFA World Cup is fast approaching. The away qualifier, to be played at the Bilino Polje Stadium in Zenica on June 9th, is a vital match that could go a long way in determining Greece’s chances for a place at Russia 2018.
      In the coming weeks, Ethniki boss Michael Skibbe will announce the squad for that crucial qualifier. And Skibbe will have some big decisions to make as five players will miss the match against the Bosnians. Andreas Samaris, Giorgos Tzavellas, Kyriakos Papadopoulos, and Panagiotis Tachtsidis are all ruled out due to suspension, with Samaris having accumulated yellows while Tzavellas and Tachtsidis were both sent off in the team’s last qualifier against Belgium. Kyriakos Papadopoulos will be serving his final match suspension for his actions against Bosnia in Greece.
      Also absent from the team will be long-term injury victim Nikos Karelis. 
      Skibbe is widely reported to be interested in calling up left-back Babis Lykogiannis for the first time. The Sturm Graz player has impressed with his performances as of late putting himself in the frame for a call-up to the senior team after having represented Greece at youth level. 
      Another player to have represented Greece’s younger national teams is also in line for a first call-up. Panathinaikos’ Dimitris Kourbelis could be selected as a back-up defensive midfielder. 
      It’s a big question whether Skibbe will call up Kourbelis and also keep faith in the young talent that were drafted into the squad recently. The smart money is that the German manager will hold onto the likes of Thanasis Androutsos and bring in Kourbelis and Giorgos Manthatis. It wouldn’t exactly be called a youth revolution, however it would a clear sign that Skibbe values what young Greek talent can bring to the table.
      Goalkeeper Orestis Karnezis is set for a return to the team meaning that more than likely Dimitris Kyriakidis will be dropped from the squad. 
      There could be some more surprises depending on injuries, however for now the squad is expected comprise of the players that were selected for the Belgium match.
      Below is the predicted squad for the match against Bosnia:
      Goalkeepers: Orestis Karnezis, Stefanos Kapino, Panagiotis Glykos
      Defenders: Kostas Manolas, Sokratis Papastathopoulos, Vasilis Torosidis, Marios Oikonomou, Kostas Stafylidis, Babis Lykogiannis
      Midfielders: Zeca, Manolis Siopis, Kostas Fortounis, Giannis Maniatis, Petros Mantalos, Alexandros Tziolis, Thanasis Androutsos, Dimitris Kourbelis
      Forwards: Kostas Mitroglou, Giorgos Manthatis, Dimitris Diamantakos, Apostolos Vellios, Giannis Gianniotas, Tasos Bakasetas

      Brazil became the first country to qualify for this event after their 3-0 win over Paraguay. Uruguay and Argentina could go in front of them if they win everything and Brazil loses everything, but as they will face eachother one of them will fail to qualify directly (#5 will play a play-off).

      I believe this match will make or break Michael Skibbe's managerial career.
      it has a feel of 7 June 2003, Spain v Greece. Michael Skibbe has two or three uncapped youngsters from the Olympiacos system plus Mystakidis fom PAOK whom could mix in well with the tough & experienced campaigners of Karnezis, Sokratis, Manolas, Torosidis, Tzavellas, Samaris, Fortounis, Mitroglou & maybe a few others whom have been around the squad for quite a while to create the right formula to cause a upset away to Belgium.
      My prediction is Belgium 1 Greece 1.

      This will probably be the biggest match of the campaign. We can put ourselves in a great position to go to Russia with a win here.
    • By Omonoia9
      Friendly for the ethniki at home to Belarus in Piraeus at Karaiskaki. Good warmup for the bigger game 4 days later.
    • By Omonoia9
      My heart won't be pulled in two directions here. Cyprus looking for their first win at the Bosnians. Of course, last time Kypro went to Bosnian soil, worked out pretty damn well!
    • By Omonoia9
      Hooray, no conflicting emotions here. The ethniki are off to Tallinn to visit Estonia. Need to keep the pace with another win.

      Greece's Russia 2018 FIFA World Cup campaign begins with a away match against FIFA's newest member Gibraltar on 6 September 2016 at the Estádio Algarve in Portugal.
    • By Greekaroos
      Greece not qualifying for the UEFA Euro 2016 finals tournament in France could work in their favor in qualification for the Russia 2018 FIFA World Cup. The players get a proper off-season break. Complacency will not creep into the squad after being brought back down to earth in Euro 2016 qualifying.
