Talk:IFFHS

message: Removed the bias allegation. Every single ranking system can be accused of bias, that´s almost tautological. No need to start such an argument.
:Specific biases should be mentioned and covered for every ranking.  Methodology should always be explained and covered.  If you're familiar with the IFFHS rankings, you'll see what I'm saying: they are badly flawed.  I'm not pretending to be unbiased here: I feel that these rankings have little to no credibility.  I'm willing to reason on how we explain the methodology and potential biases, but to leave out the information is just plain wrong.  Bill Oaf 23:04, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: To put things worse, this eurocentric association considers the Argentine league to be on the same level as Paraguayan, Ecuadorian and Colombian leagues. They favour Brazilian league with 4 points/win, even when Argentine clubs lead in combined number of Copa Libertadores. Estudiantes de La Plata alone won the continental competition more times than any Brazilian club. The biased South American ranking, where all Brazilian clubs appear at the top, stems from this unfair treatment. 2800:40:28:1170:ACDC:586C:44A9:1F26 (talk) 23:50, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

message: This institution are a plain example of how numbers can be used by phony people to mislead a illiterate-math public. Pure data snooping, take the leagues rank for example: Even Today most national leagues like La Liga have just 2 main protagonists ( Madrid and Barcelona ) or some like Italian have 5 to 7 main teams; the Brazilian League already in Pele's old "quiet" times had 12, I repeat: 12 main team running for the cup Not counting the minor ones without much chances.189.62.129.250 (talk) 18:27, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

message: Sorry Madcynic but I do not see what you mean. You wouldn´t seriously doubt that Colin José or Karl-Heinz Jens existed, would you? I did cite the Soccer Hall of Fame´s website, what more can I do? As for the books, I´ve got them all and you can still buy them through ebay or other sources... Incidentally, we have the same discussion - only worse - in the German wikipedia. There´s this one guy who has started the "one man show" punchline very successfully and nobody seems to ask for his sources or whether he just made it up. -- Not cricket, says SpVggLieth (talk) 14:05, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Not done: The "Strongest National League in the World" section rankings have been not updated, because the rankings aren't yet final, the rankings shown in the link show the rankings at the half way point of the year. The final rankings will come out in January of next year.  Regards --Bocafan76 (talk) 23:18, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

message: You claim "the organization is not affiliated with FIFA" based on this source also notes that the Federation "is only affiliated with national associations". When I said that the IFFHS was "affiliated" to FIFA if that organization declares itself independent in their own statute? For a body is affiliated to another is necessary to include in any chart and it does not happen because IFFHS is independent unlike IB or the FIFPro. What I said is that IFFHS is recognised by FIFA—and that is properly supported with bibliographical material—, which is different than other works in this world or in the cyber-world.
The "recognition" of any body by the other does not imply "affiliation" as evidenced by the case ECA/UEFA (ECA is recognised but not affiliated to UEFA).--Dantetheperuvian (talk) 03:48, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
