What Dennis is doing is a child's play to what Kalu will do in England! Super player!

Mujtahida:
True bro. He did well bringing in good players but he was at a loss in using the fine tools at his disposal. The more the proliferation of talents, the more confused he became.

I don't need to bring out any Mathematics..

I don't have to prove a negative..

The onus is on you to provide the mathematics to support your claims..

Show us the FIFA rules and how they have run afoul of it..

And while you are at it..

You can also double as the Attorney on the case of Algeria and Italy vs FIFA..

andrewbaba44:
It’s simple logic we are discussing football ,nobody carry the matter for head unless Na you

DarkJeddi:
You people are very funny..

Why cry more than the bereaved?

That you actually believed FIFA is being crooked is funny..

They are being crooked and you think these countries would not have taken it up?

The same thing happened to Italy and you don't see them crying foul..

And yet someone,somewhere on Nairaland..

Wants to carry them matter for head..

DarkJeddi:
Where were they when they won AFCON?

The teams above them..

Where they on a losing streak as they were accumulating draws?

3 Wins in 5 games is still better than 4 draws and a win..

DarkJeddi:
Seems their unbeaten run is confusing you..

How many did they win exactly..

Drawing Burkina Faso home and away..

That one na part of the unbeaten run?

Amedino99:
Italy went on a 37 match unbeaten run winning the euros during the way but has it ever occured to you that on no occasion during this unbeaten run were they ranked 1st. Besides you said unbeaten run not winning run.if we look at it sef. The draw to win ratio there might even be equal

Danielnino00:
Now you are being honest... You said "my point" meaning it's your opinion..
The reality on ground is that during the so called unbeaten run, they drew games against lower rated oppositions and won against also lower rated oppositions.. This whole thing is computerized...

Samueltemi337:
I don't think Algeria were ranked 4th before the tournament

Danielnino00:
On penalties..
You do realize that a game lost on penalty shoot out doesn't count as a lose? I'm very sure you don't know..

You go about recording gaffes of the year, but the thread is littered with many false information from your end including your nonsensical "unpopular opinion"....

safarigirl:
Yes

Yes

Exactly this

When we won AFCON did we become number one in Africa? When Zambia won AFCON, did they become number one in Africa?

Danielnino00:
Bro, save your strength...That guy can be so unreasonable..
I used to fault the FIFA ranking method myself until I took time to study it...
All the countries are well aware of how it's works that's why the smart ones use it to their advantage..

Danielnino00:
What about the games they drew?

You don't know how the ranking works at all..

It's simple, the amount of points u lost from losing a game depends on how low your opponent is behind you in the world ranking..
If draw with an opponent ranked below you, you lost points too..

Algeria were able to overtake us in the ranking after we drew twice with Sierra Leone..Those two draws cost us points...

Danielnino00:
Which Algeria were 4th before the last AFCON?
You earlier said Morocco crashed out in the group stage of the last AFCON..

You don't know what you are saying at all..

Danielnino00:
They lost to a team ranked 114 in the world in a competition like the AFCON!

Morocco didn't eclipse anything.They were far ahead of Algeria in the ranking before they won the 2019 AFCON...All the points Algeria gathered in the 2019 AFCON wasn't enough to overtake Morocco...And Morocco were equally in form after AFCON.....

dkay51:
the calculation is based on an average of a four year run, so its not exactly a direct addition or subtraction, its an average of your performances over the last four years.

andrewbaba44:
Baba ,you explained earlier and I understand you ,trust me

But this thing Dey somehow ,reason am nah

I didn’t mean that FIFA dash teams rankings anyhow ,that point is just too much just because they lost to EG ,they deserve to retain their position at least .

Danielnino00:
Exactly.. Whatever point they gathered from winning the AFCON wasn't enough to rank them first in Africa because the teams ranked ahead of them at that time also gathered enough points to keep the gap reasonable...

dkay51:
Check the formula and digest it first, you cant argue with mathematics nobody is conjuring numbers from FIFA's POV.

Grozny:
Cause winning a bunch of friendlies against minnows is meaningless. Continental comps far outweigh friendlies so this drop makes sense.

Danielnino00:
There are rules guiding how the FIFA ranking works... It's not like FIFA decide to rank certain teams based on how they play.. The ranking is mathematical... There's a formula and the results are calculated according to the formula...

andrewbaba44:
Walai it doesn’t make sense

Just because they lost to Equatorial Guinea they dropped with so many points

Algeria still deserved to be number 1 in Africa

I am using him to justify a Nigerian player.

If you're crushing on Maduka that is on you, stop using me to project your true feelings please. Take it to his DMs .

Daninya33:
Probably he is acting based on what he has heard from Moses Simon or his sources in the glasshouse.
Amongst all the footballers that have emerged from Kaduna state, the likes of Ambrose Efe, Simon Moses,Sadiq Umar, Chrisantus Macaulay etc Only Simon Moses is closest then Sadiq Umar.
Dude is one of the best sports journalist in Nigeria.He was in South Africa 2010 as a reporter.He also won the best sport journalist in Nigeria 2020
