      Power Rankings

      Strong power rankings are one way to profits in the big soccer tournaments. There's no real need to look for upsets in the WC. The idea is to bet on the team with the higher ranking. (Here's an example from http://forum.sbrforum.com/soccer-han...2008-a-p2.html, where betting by simple power rankings produced 64% winners over the tournament, and higher before the knock out stages)

      A group discussion can be very helpful, especially with so many African teams, and teams like Slovenia and Slovakia. So I was hoping to make this a group project. The more people post their power rankings, the more helpful it could be to all. A few weeks to go, so no rush. Slowly chiseling away on mine.

              Power Rankings. There are 32 teams, so I'm going to rate them top 10, bottom 10, and then deal with the 12 teams in the middle. Will start out with preliminary ratings and finalize before the WC.

              Top 10
              1) Spain
              2) Brazil
              3) Netherlands
              4) Argentina
              5) Germany
              6) Portugal
              7) England
              8) Italy
              9) Ghana
              10) Serbia

                30) Japan
                31) Honduras

                          Too bad the dear leader has to spend all his time fighting off the American imperialists or else he could help them win the world cup with this athletic skills and prowess.

                            McCarthy is out of favour, they have no f*ckin chance

                                That's a good question. I have been betting soccer since the late 80's and never heard of power rankings before.

                                  You have to make your own, based on your understanding of the teams. I use them only for the Euro and WC.

                                    A bit vague to be honest, what are your parameters?

                                            Japan sucks they will struggle to get out of that group.

                                            Serbia will advance over Ghana.
                                            Mexico/South Africa is a toss up for me.

                                                              You can't really count out the Germans.

                                                              Germany got a boatload of Midfielders, but the problem is too young. Ballack's experiance will be missed.

                                                                Watch out for Honduras. People need to realize this will be a veteran Honduras side that more than likely will never get to reach the Finals with this group of players. They have some injuries, but I expect them to challenge for the second spot to qualify out of their group along with Spain.
