Eternity RPC Board
In case you didn't know, our most gracious deity is building a program that will allow blac and I to easily input matches to generate proper SIFA rankings a la the Coca Cola Rankings Fifa has. This will help us have a much more realistic simulation, as seeding will be properly done and it won't be so much work to build rankings. Plus, our old rankings were pretty damn stale.
Now, with that extra time, I think we can begin doing friendlies again.
I can schedule some random friendlies each year, and input them into the ranking program. I won't be posting these since there will be many of them and they'll be mostly meaningless, but if you would like, I can score certain friendlies that you would desire, and post the results.
Keep in mind, the importance of this is that, for nations that don't really get into major events very often, this is their chance for points outside of qualifiers. You can't do a million friendlies, mind you, but you can still do some. People who regularly request friendlies will probably get more accurate rankings.
Teams schedule friendlies for a lot of reasons, to test out young players, to generate hype among local fans, and probably most important to prepare for important matches.
They prepare by playing matches against teams that are similar to the ones they will be playing or teams from nearby that have "similar footballing cultures". They also play in certain climates that may be similar to the ones they will be going to. Altitude is especially important to prepare for. When the US prepares to play in Estadio Azteca (in mexico city) they often play and train in Denver to help acclimate to the high altitude. When Mexico played the US in Columbus last year, they prepared by playing several friendlies in the US beforehand. (Ironically, over the last four years Mexico has played something like half of their total matches in the US).
So, if you would like to schedule friendlies, use this form. If you really want the results posted, I can post them after I input them into the scorinator. Make sure your team doesn't do more than 10 or so friendlies unless there is an important reason.
~~~ I've decided I will post the results. I'll post them in the request posts after I score them. ~~~
