I wonder why is Barcelona Ranked 4th and Juventus 7th :undecide:

I would imagine it's a rolling average over say three years or so

 

[Stu]

These ratings suck

 

[Signor]

This rankin' is ridiculous

 

[Jun-hide]

Ok, I am not going to take this personally, and I have never seen a leauge game in most of these countries but any person with consicous mind would not say that Uzbek has better league than Japan. And Iraq?

ah boooooo!! Go home!!!

 

[Roverbhoy]

You know...I'm a bit thick!
Can someone tell me if Asia has a continental club competition along the same lines as the Champions League....i.e. Australian Champs v Japanese, New Zealand v Malasia?

 

[Roverbhoy]

And what about American and Canadian clubs...how do they compare themselves against other national club teams?

Are these competitions FIFA Approved?

There is an Asian Champions League, however, nobody gives care about it.. As for New Zealand, and Austrailia, there have different federation.

Anyway, I think it won't take too long before we see some sort of initiative to make more prestigious Asian Tournament or some sort of merging between leagues to increase prestige and market size. I am betting that J-League might someday merge with Chinese and Korean league.

 

[Jun-hide]

America and Canada is part of CONCAF, and currently playing in "Gold Cup".
I haven't got a clue for name of Oceania FA.

 

[Roverbhoy]

Well, the reason I was asking was because (bad English) if you look at the ranking tables, the teams from the far east and North America are real low down.

Could this be because they have no way of being ranked by FIFA as they have no means of comparing the quality of their leagues against others.

How would, say the USA, move up the rankings if their champs have no way of gaining ranking points?

Japan are, as highlighted by Jun-hide, lower than some countries that you just wouldn't think possible. Could this be because Japan don't play competative international club matches?

 

[Jun-hide]

That could be one main reason, Roverbboy..
Nevertheless, unless those who produced the result comes up with their method, I cannot and will not accept this absurd result. There are far too many annomalies.

 

[Roverbhoy]

Just for you Jun-hide

How the Club World Ranking is made

The World Club Ranking was started monthly since January 1st, 1991 and the information is globally distributed early in the following month. This ranking takes into consideration the results of twelve months of continental and intercontinental competitions, national league matches (including play-offs) and the national cup. In those countries having several national cup competitions, only the one organised by the national federation is included. Since the cup competition systems are diverse at the preliminary stage level, we assign only the points won in eight-finals, quarter-finals, semi-finals and the final. The points are assigned based upon a rating system of the level of performance of each national league. In the case of matches decided by penalty-kicks, each team receives half of the points in contention.
All national leagues are rated at four levels based upon performance. In this grouping, each country (where the club plays) is assigned a number indicating the performance level of each national league. Clubs in the highest level leagues receive 4 points for each match won, 2 for a draw and 0 for a defeat. Level 2 is assigned 3 pts. (win), 1.5 (draw) and 0 (lost), and so on with the next lower levels. The same system applies for the play-off matches.

In the continental competitions, all clubs receive the same number of points at all stages regardless of the performance level of their leagues. In the case of draws each team receives 50% of the points in dispute and 0 points for a lost match. The points are distributed equally to teams in matches decided by penalty-kicks. All Asia, Africa and CONCACAF continental competitions have the same point-assignment system: 8 points for a win, 4 for a draw; in the preliminary tournament phases for The Caribbean and Oceania zones, only 4 and 2 points are assigned for win and draw. In the South American competitions the clubs receive 12 points for a win, 6 for a draw; and in the European 14 and 7 points, respectively. Competitions between two continents are evaluated depending upon their importance. In the FIFA World Club Cup, the awarding system for wins and draws is determined by averaging the number of points assigned for wins and draws in each of the other continental competitions.

Those competitions not organized by a continental confederation, or any intercontinental events not recognized by FIFA, are not taken into consideration for the World Club Ranking. Any competition cancelled before completion alters the point system. In order to equalise the chances of South American and European clubs we do not consider the result of previous matches already played in said tournament.

The World Club Ranking is a precise classification showing the real level of the clubs free of any subjective influence. It is the result of a profound analysis that allows us to fairly report the level of international performance for each country.

 

[Roverbhoy]

I'm still confused

[Zlatan]
