Iran will no longer be the #1 ranked AFC nation in the next FIFA rankings

[Doctor DOOM]

Both Japan and Korea were devastated by Wars. They lost many lives, which will not be forgotten. Having lost people in wars and catastrophe is not an excuse for continued failure. The only reason we have not won anything in 42 years is our own continuous mismanagement of our country. we can not blame this on any one else.

spot on.
we have failed continuously becoz we have become a nation that NEVER learns from its past and mistakes.
we continue to make the same mistake, expecting a different result!
we continue to ignore the root of our problems (not just in sports, but life & politics also) and focus on insignificant superficial issues (mostly also irrelevant)

[rdwrrr]

Not bringing excuses, but your country wasn’t in a brutal war where you lost one out of every fifteen men in your country, which is why more than 50% of Iran right now is under 30, you realize this, right? We are only going to continue to get better. And once the crippling sanctions are taken off and we can reach our full potential, other Asian teams will be less than the pubes on a monkey dick to us. Perhaps you’ve forgotten in the 70s Iran was the only nation representing Asia in the World Cup, but war and political savagery have really hurt us. Regardless, our physique is superior to other Asian teams (just look at our height differences) and again, once sanctions are lifted and we can actually have better preparations, we would crush countries like yours.
Secondly, Japan lost to Belgium after being up 2-0, that’s a mental fart of epic proportions. Secondly, South Korea hasn’t beat us since 2011, and this is without them having crippling sanctions on their country. I don’t understand how you can talk this smack with a straight face. You have all the extrinsic advantages, and are still inferior. Didn’t you guys lose UAE at home for god’s sake? Put a sock in it bro lol

wait ... what?
Monkey's dicks have pubes on them?
How?


buffguy, while sanctions may have a slight impact, that too indirectly, on how a national team performs, but brandishing & throwing around this "crippling sanctions" as the be all & end all of the excuses for TM not winning asia cup or ..., is simply unacceptable and incomprehensible.


War and Iran being treated as a pariah nation have 100 times more impact on the subject than "sanctions".
Sanctions dont decide HOW we play, or WHAT tactics we employ, or HOW our clubs decide to develop youngsters.



Why I reacted to this "sanction as the ultimate evil for every screw up happening in Iran" is bcoz I see many ppl blame totally irrelevant problems and deficiencies of our country on sanctions .... some, as excuse for the gov't's utter inability ... no, REFUSAL to attend to Iran's problems.

sanctions, for example is a reaction for a gov't spending precious nat'l wealth on terrorism, support of genocide and murdering dictators, warmongering and destabilizing efforts in the region.
we stop funding terror, and sanctions will disappear. will we?

The article in that tweet says that the new fifa system is based on the ELO rankings, and that over time teams will get closer to their ELO ranking (i'm not sure i understand, or can be bothered to understand, how exactly).

Iran has been around 20 in the ELO rankings over this year: https://www.eloratings.net/Iran

A country that failed to reach Asian Cup final for the last 42 years and counting needs something to console themselves with.

You should notice that the fifa ranking is not updated yet. The elo is.
For example. Belgium was not 3rd in elo before the WC

The difference between ELO and FIFA rankings is becoming more and more.

ELO is just so much better: https://www.eloratings.net/

Can anyone argue with that top 10? I just find the algorithm so much better than FIFA: https://www.fifa.com/fifa-world-rank...men/index.html

ELO is only used officially in chess, but "unofficially" many people prefer it in other sports.

Good rating,but since when Kurdistan(#102) or Zanzibar have become a country?! They seem to include semi-autonomous regions as national teams which is totally inaccurate!

Biorzestan isn't, never has been and never will be a country.

Here is what the FIFA calculator tells us. Possible ranking points of 802 should place Iran around 30th.

Australia's possible ranking points is 703 (possibly in high 30's)
Japan's possible ranking points is 632 (possibly in the high 40's)
Korea Republic 's possible ranking points is 594 (possibly in low 50's)
Saudi Arabia's possible ranking points is 508 (possibly in low 60s)
So the the new AFC top five order will be:
1- IRAN
2- Australia
3- Japan
4- Korea Republic
5- Saudi Arabia
Every one ranking points will improve except for Australia.

What about Japan where do you think they will be ranked at ?

When is the next FIFA ranking out?..

This week, July 19th. Iran should rise about 15 spots or so, based on my cursory look a the points/numbers.
