8/9/2019 History of World Cups (Revisited)

1/23

The Historical Ranking Coeficient is based on the positions a team placed during their participations in the different World Cups.

We will use as examples Germany, Brazil, England, and Wales.

Country Number of World Cups Average Position

Germany 16 3.688 The average position is determined by the positions

Brazil 18 4.444 occupied during all performances, and the number

England 12 6.917 of performances of each squad,

Wales 1 5

The need for an overall coeficient appears once the results of the Average Position don't seem to sufice or clarify.According to the Average Position, Wales, who has only been a participant on one ocation, would outrank

England. Wales counts with a sole peformance which ended with a 5th place. England counts on twelve

performances, and an average of 6,917, therefore England's inferiority.

Country Number of World Cups Average Position Historical Ranking Coeficient

Germany 16 3.688 = (Number of World Cups/ AVG Position)*100

Brazil 18 4.444 = (Number of World Cups/ AVG Position)*100

England 12 6.917 = (Number of World Cups/ AVG Position)*100

Wales 1 5 = (Number of World Cups/ AVG Position)*100

The Historical Ranking Coeficient is the result of the division of the Number of World Cups

between the Average Position result, which is later on multiplied by 100, turning out then in

a number which will determine the result of this Ranking. The higher the number obtained,

the higher the national squad ranks.

Country Number of World Cups Average Position Historical Ranking Coeficient So, according to

Germany 16 3.688 433.84 Brazil and Engla

Brazil 18 4.444 405.04 Since they only

England 12 6.917 173.49 HRC result is of
