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

[Babak agha]

Iran climbed up to #32 in FIFA ranking and is again the number 1 of Asia (Aussies are #43 now).

Maybe somebody can change the thread title

[Azeem98]

The new system is basically the Elo rankings with a few tweaks

[Futbaldoost]

Where are ranking? Wtf is 19th and??

FIFA is moving to the new calculation method. They skipped July. August rankings will use the new method. I believe the date is August 16th.

For example;
How is sanctions influencing the decision of clubs to resist investing in our own youth, and instead spend 100 times more to bring 3rd rate spent foreign players .... more than half of whom are inconsequential in the quality or even outcome of the games?

Not to mention how many of these contracts end up in disciplinary committee resulting in Iran forking out even more money in fines?


Did sanctions decide that clubs refuse to invest in decent infrastructure while they spend more on such useless ventures?

We're a very rich country that is extremely mismanaged. Each of our top 2 divisions clubs can have their own stadia, training grounds, facilities, ... if it wasn't for "Iran spending over $20-20 BILLION in sending arms & supplies to terrorist groups & dictators in the region.



And that's only 1 example.
If you think a little bit, all by yourself, you'd discover many many reasons for our football's woes, far more detrimental than sanctions

[Doctor DOOM]

Sanctions don’t impact our football? Lol! Ok, firstly, we know the current Islamic regime is shady as hell and doesn’t fund our football, for god’s sake, during Ahmadinutjob’s presidency an entire oil rig went missing, so yes, corruption I rampant. Secondly, your funding terrorism stuff is political so I don’t know why mods haven’t said shit to you but they came down on me when I said political stuff in my previous posts. Third, if you don’t think sanctions have impacted our football then I simply have nothing else to say to you in the future, because you either don’t understand how sanctions work, or your thought process is...different. All I can say is it’s a ridiculous and laughable assertion, and I’m putting that mildly..

many ppl hide the systems deficiencies & incompetence behind this 'sanctions excuse. Sanctions don't have such a major impact on our football quality.

Simply said, if we list the most impactful of issues, sanctions lie near lower half of a top 10 list.

IR uses sanctions as an excuse to cover their mismanagement in EVERYTHING. Football is no different

We shd think for ourselves a little bit, before merely echoing some shady, inconsistent cooked up propaganda

[ehsan singapore]

we are 35th i believe but we are still first in asia

[Ejdeha]

If fifa uses the old system we be 25th but if they use the new system we be 35th

[Bessos]

My calculations tell me we would hit 26 or 27 in the rankings.

[eerooni]

Will we hit top 20 this time around ?...

[somebuffguy]

if we stop funding terror, sanctions will disappear? did I just read that correctly?

The United States has never funded terror? i wonder would would happen if the United States was held accountable for all its support of regime change, civilian deaths, and illegal drone strikes it continues to carry out. It's not about us funding terror.

The U.S. knows it devastating sanctions only impact the well-being of the iranian people and continue to implement them knowing that. they also are the biggest weapons exporter to the most backwards country in the world.

yeah, our government is filled with the most vile, vicious humans, but don't use that to deflect from these horrible sanctions at the hands of western powers that are taking away from the very dignity and humanity of our own people.

Exactly. I don’t know how spurring massive inflation, making food and basic necessities unattainable, while making it difficult for Iranian citizens to have access to basic medical needs (many Iranians have to buy their cancer medication on the black market, expired!) would EVER have a ripple effect in a country. /s just in case it wasn’t clear!

[Hosseini]

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?

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.

Yeah except their wars happened 55+ and 70+ years ago, and our last war ended at the end of the 80s. So their contemporary impact would be similar, right? RIGHT?!?!? Lol! Ok bud

Germany stays first?
That seems highly unlikely.
