FIFA Ranking: Regarding Moldova (a reply to Steve) 2008-06-27 05:44:00 I just read this post written by Steve
in May 2008."My first thought was, how in the world did Moldova come to be ranked 37, above nations like Nigeria, Australia, South Korea, etc.? They've beaten Kazakhstan (122), Malta (135), Bosnia (62), Hungary (57) and Latvia (72), and had a draw with Turkey (25) in the last couple of years so they're not exactly beating world powers.

Liga a III-a 2008-2009: Posibile schimbari in seriile de vest 2008-07-10 02:15:00 Minerul Iara a cumparat locul celor de la Atletic Sibiu, iar Minerul Lupeni va juca in liga a treia dupa ce a vandut locul de liga a doua celor de la Trans Sil Targu Mures. Daca aceste tranzactii se confirma si nu vor lua forma unor fuziuni, e posibil sa vedem cateva schimbari fata de configuratia initiala. Pentru a avea cate 18 echipe in fiecare serie, am mutat CSM Sebes din seria a V-a in seria

Sa trecem acum la cumpararile de locuri care au aparut in presa in ultima vreme:
Trans Sil Targu Mures (Liga a III-a seria a sasea) a cumparat locul echipei Minerul Lupeni: ProSport.
FC Ena Fagaras (Liga judeteana Brasov) a cumparat locul echipei Lotus Felix Sanmartin: GSP.

20 august 2008 - adversarul ideal 2008-07-07 01:48:00 FRF a programat deja un amical cu Letonia pe 20 august 2008, pentru a obisnui jucatorii nationalei cu stilul de joc baltic, Romania urmand sa intalneasca Lituania in preliminariile CM 2010 pe 6 septembrie.
Din simpla curiozitate... care ar fi fost adversarul ideal

FIFA Ranking: Probable top 50 in August 2008 2008-07-03 05:24:00 Point totals for teams in blue should be 100% correct. For the others, there's the issue of historical rankings published before July 2006.
Matches scheduled this month will not affect the top 50. The ranking will suffer some changes due to devaluations of results - Copa America 2007, WC 2006, Gold Cup 2005, Copa America 2004, EURO 2004.

Recent au aparut in presa articole despre cumpararea/vanzarea de locuri in ligile a II-a si a III-a. Mecanismul folosit este cesiunea dreptului de participare. In trecut astfel de tranzactii au avut loc si in Liga I.

Romania nu va juca un amical pe 15 octombrie 2008-07-15 02:14:00 Conform ofiterului de presa al FRF, domnul Paul Zaharia, Romania nu va juca un amical pe 15 octombrie, deci pozitia noastra in clasamentul FIFA (sau mai bine zis punctajul FIFA) nu va avea de suferit.

Daca scoatem din calcul Romania si Georgia, doar 26 de tari si-au programat deja un meci amical pentru aceasta data.
