Subject: »[NT] World Cup

Okay, but in such matches if I finish in a draw - I lose points. If I win by less than 3:0 - I lose points.... Why?

If you draw and lose points then you had higher rank points than opponent

for example against Belgium you got 2 draws and got +11.48 and +11.41 rank points because you were the team with lower rank points

against Scotland (rank 31 then) you had rank 24, won 2:0 and got +31.37 points

against Denmark you have drawn 3:3 and lost -22.73 points, but you had rank 20 and Denmark had rank 51

The bigger the rank points difference the higher result is needed

some examples from Poland

2:1 vs NZ = -12.05
3:2 vs Peru = -3.05
9:0 vs Singapore = +0.80
6:3 vs Panama = -4.49

I'm sure someone worked out the ranking points system years ago. I tried a few months back but it's not a linear formula. If someone wants to do the numbers they can always head over to Gestons site where the NT rankings and results are recorded.

Yes.... Moldova is really unlucky with this draw. (Group F)
Still we hope to suprise!

Use the search mask of the forum (the international forum) and search for ranking. You will find some topics about ranking points and there you can also read the formula, the algorithm.

Okay, I still don't understand how my fans can expect an easy win against Brazil (!), but let's not waste time on that. When the match is over and according to the result, I will show how it affected my team

Sokker is right, Slovensko is the favorite.

:Р

Srbija 1 - 2 France

Thanks dzungla for your message.

Were also missing quite a few players in good form ^^.
It was a very close match that could have gone either way :)

Despite our status as world champions, we are far from being favorites this season compared to other nations !
