That will be our next game, coming Monday.

One interesting thing about NT Rankings. That ranking algorithm considers last 2 seasons or so, currently our last 33 games are counted. That means that the game coming will replace the game that is the 33rd oldest, which, interesting enough is a game against Colombia as well, (373)

That game we lost at the time, if we win this one our record improves (not that it matters much, but I'm looking at things around here because I'm bored)

Thinking about it, it might not replace it actually, it will be 34 games counted probably, since that was our first game ever.

Hmm, let's see

From rules:

The world championships aren't the only way that national teams can compete for status. For every national team game that gets played, some number of ranking points get distributed between the participants. Even scrimmages are worth something, but the bigger the game, the more points get handed out. All ranking points that national teams receive, they keep for 28 weeks (i.e., two seasons). Points expire on a rolling basis.

That means that the game that will be taken away is not the game vs. Colombia but the game vs. Chile, (395) from which we can improve again in standings, I think...
