Everyone crying abou the rankings now that we are falling , noone gave a f*ck when we were 10th-12th. You guys are funnier than the Fifa Ranking.

Btw I predict a 2nd spot finish in the World Cup qualifying group. 1 defeat and 1 draw from belgium. 1 win 1 defeat from Bih . 4 wins fro the rest. Also 2 draws at the friendly russians , either 0-0 or 1-1.

[Rockafeller Skank]

Also fuq the rankings. We saw teams like NI,Hungary and Iceland qualifying , while they were expected a max 4th? spot.  If our team rolls it can win every pot 2-pot 5 team(except teams that should be in pot 1 but they aren't like Croatia,Italy,France). 

Especially this group has been a blessing .

 

Im gonna make a post about Skibbe and the group at the coaches thread.

[Chris Tsamados]

Leave it out Cape Verde are ACE! That game that they won against Iceland Fishermen XI was amazeballs!

yeah, my prediction would be similar. I think even win and draw against bosnia lol ;)

Greece up two spots and are currently ranked 39th.

Expect Greece to drop heavily after euro 2016. The points they gained from world Cup 2014 will be devalued. Also, the points they got from euro 2012 will be completely gone (since the rankings only assess the last 4 years of games)

^Damn it... But to be honest when was the last time we actually beat a half decent team? I would have to say it goes all the way back to the Ivory Coast so as much as I want to climb the FIFA standings we don't really deserve too.

[Nikitas]

dropped 3 spots to #40.

The points from Turkey draw were lost because Giannou was ineligible. Also it doesnt have to be us playing a game. We played nothing in May while lots of teams played friendlies pre- Euro and pro-Copa America , so someone must have surpassed us.

[Nikitas]

we dropped 12 spots to #52. some big droppers and some big climbers. wales climbed 15 spots to #11 and holland dropped to their lowest rank ever to #26 after also dropping 12 spots.

It's been over 15 years since we've been this low in the rankings.

Start winning and the rankings take care of themselves. Nothing to worry about.

Of course we are going to get the usual posters in here proclaiming that it's all doom and gloom and wanting the ghosts of Rehhagel past to come back.

Patience my miserable friends. Patience!

52  sounds about right. If only Kpaps were here.

[pash]

Or, it could take a few months.

 

But unlikely.

[Rockafeller Skank]

52  sounds about right. If only Kpaps were here.

Im pretty sure one Cb is equal 20-30 spots. Legit.

[pash]

60 if he plays two positions.

[Rockafeller Skank]

60 if he plays two positions.

 

You forgot to mention that the 2nd position he plays he is nothing but an average player of the GSL.

What is K.Paps to you that you praise him so much brah? Family or smthing ? The guy is weak and plays like a tragi in every game , ending up injured every 2 months and staying 2-4 months out. He ll never make it big for this reason.

[pash]

I think you've misunderstood every post I've made on him since joining these forums. Brah.

[georgelaz]

Kpaps is his only 4 apperances in 2015 half of them the opponents did not score 0-0. The other two matches they only scored a goal. He's a huge lift to the team and should be started whenever available.

One of our main issues is that our attack doesn't have pace. Mitroglou, Samaris, Tachtsidis are our top tier options and are quite slow. Fortounis is decently speedy though. Fetfa through us under the bridge with his Saudi move, he should've been starting whenever available as well. He adds another dimension to our attack.

 

Imagine Holebas LW & Fetfatzidis RW, Mitroglou up top. We'd make some great plays for sure.

 

P.S. everyone here vote for Greek league to be in the next fifa. We're only at 30k votes right now! (Turkish second division is at 550 000) I know they outnumber us but still the Israeli division is on top and they have even less numbers than us!

Hey, nearly caught up to the Socceroos, 6 more months?

[georgelaz]

Brazil

England

Italy

Spain

Argentina

 

France

Germany

Belgium (just this golden generation)

Portugal (reluctant saying this cause we've had their number past decade)

 

The above teams are the only teams that I think will pretty almost always be better than us.

other than at, rank is up for grabs.

with extremely efficient managing, we're a top 10 side.

I'm still glad we avoided England. At the euro they were pretty bad but they have big Sam allardyce as coach now who is waayyyyyyy better then their previous coach. England do actually have some pretty good players, and I actually think now England are going to be much better and will probably do well at the world Cup (call my crazy I know lol)

[georgelaz]

england is solid.

I too think they will do well world cup, perhaps a semi-final.

 

dier, ali, kane are good players and barely 20.

[Rockafeller Skank]

why so little though , we beat 2 teams that were higher than us.
