The Dutch not seeded at the World Cup despite being unbeaten in 12 years of WC qualifiers....
Sviat can you explain it to Nyx pls. Dutch people clearly don't get it.

I know how the system works, but it's flawed.
I don't understand how it isn't obvious that this is the worst Dutch team in decades. You lost to Belgium last year. There, that's the whole argument.
That was a friendly, we suck in friendlies.
Dutch team definitely isn't worldclass atm, but the worst in decades? Hell no.
We're going to fuck big countries up during the WC, watch and weep my friend.
Yeah, you guys haven't won a single friendly in a long time (since before Euros). That certainly wasn't good for your ranking. Only have yourselves to blame.
watch and weep my friend.
Joke is on you
Sviat is always crying (inside)
How did you fix Young ?
Have you heard the smoke box hype?

Chooooo

I'm keeping this quote for when Strootgod is holding up the World Cup.

Replace the first picture with FootyGAF and it might also be true.

Sviat, your trash talking of our national side is going to bite you. Seeded or no seeded we are going to kick ass at the world cup. It just pisses me off on principle that we are not seeded, not that it damages our chances of doing well at the tournament. It doesn't make much difference since seeded teams can get groups of death too, and 1 or 2 of them are likely to get them. Hopefully Russia are in one of them.
I haven't really been trash talking Netherlands. I made one quip about you losing to Belgium. That's about it. You guys have a solid team, might even be able to scrape out a draw against Russia.
In other news, I'm hearing that Russia is playing Brazil again in a friendly next month. Time to finish the fight, we were robbed of a win last time. And apparently it's going to be in Canada. Looks like I might get a chance to see us shit on Neymar in person.

You said this is one of the worst Dutch teams in decades which is an insult. We had a bad Euro's but our qualifiers for the last WC, the Euro completed last year and next years WC have been flawless. Our friendly results haven't been the best but we are not the only team that has fallen victim to that.I haven't really been trash talking Netherlands. I made one quip about you losing to Belgium.

Linius pls. Even Kerzhakov can score against Eredivisie defending.You've got to be joking :lol
Only because you lost to Belgium. How could you let that happen? They're supposed to be your bitch What next, is Luxembourg going to move above you on the Benelux totem pole as well? Sorry Nyx, I know that loss must still hurt deep.You said this is one of the worst Dutch teams in decades which is an insult.

We have a pretty good team capable of beating majority of the seeded teams on a day where things click. It's the principle of us not being seeded that annoys the fuck out of me not that I think it damages our chances any, The only issue now is we could end up with Argentina, Brazil, Germany, Spain in our group which I didn't want. I didn't want to face any of those sides until the semi's if we made it that far, I like our chances against any of the other teams at the WC,

I'm not going to throw in any predictions for Brazil. I hope we get a good group at least. I mean we can always get Uruguay or Belgium as seeded team in our group![]()

Even Switzerland? The FIFA really is a joke :lol
And yes Colombia I wouldn't mind either. So basically 50% chance for a good seeded country. Only wanna dodge Brazil, Germany, Spain and Italy if possible.
Just read how the FIFA ranking system works. Quite the joke, to be honest.
Netherlands cannot draw Italy. All the unseeded European teams will be in the same pot. Also means you can't get England, France, Portugal, Russia, etc in your group either.
The successor to the best game since FF7.aaaah, its that PS3 game
Oh Italy aren't seeded anymore? Oh well.
Haha, this is so me :lol
Let me check if it's in the New Leaf OT already, if not I'll post it there![]()
How would you improve it then?
Give some compensation to countries hosting a world cup/euros is one thing that needs to be done, not sure how but it's a bit pathetic that the countries hosting drops down as much as they do as they can only play friendlies which counts little.
How would you improve it then?
There is compensation. Host countries are automatically seeded.
That's already accounted for though implicitly. By qualifying you have the opportunity to play in the World Cup/Continental Finals where the points you earn are weighted higher. Teams that fail to qualify don't have this opportunity.There are several weaknesses and not everything can be improved by simply changing the formula, but getting additional points for successful qualifications would be the first step.
Switzerland deserve to be up there, they have the greatest trainer of all time.
:lol I said to Dan about a hour ago, "Linius will like that pic" cause I knew you played the shit out of AC.
It's true though, makes me want to go back and play it.
But still drop down from the world ranking for further shit
also how the fuck did colombia get so high? must be a way to fix that.

Sure, but if a team fails in the World Cup, they'll lose tons of points and will rank lower than some who failed to qualify. It's quite funny to see Switzerland being seeded despite the disappointing last four years.
I checked it yesterday, 352 hours. I want to reach that 500 hours (biggest tree + gold badge). But that will be hard. But I haven't completely stopped. This month I'm collecting Halloween stuff. Also played the fishing tournament last saturday. So the day after I got Pokémon I played three hours of New Leaf
Well I'm off to work, call me when you guys fixed the FIFA ranking math.
