From what I could find it looks like they are counted but as of "least importance" (in terms of importance - half of friendly played in official dates) - dunno if this translate to ranking points the same way.
Was at work at missed most of the game: I can watch the last minutes, though, thanks for the link @Lechus7! I see we're 6-0 at 79'. Edit: while I speak, it becomes 7-0 (Tanikawa).
And 8-0 at 85' (Sakikabara, @pierre bezukhov will be happy, I suppose ). Bangladesh are 142nd in the world, and it shows: missed the rest of the game, but I figure it was more of the same stuff I am seeing in these last minutes.
Japan 8-0 Bangladesh FT. I hope it will be enough not to lose points, but in fact, judging by the dozen minutes of the game I've watched, I suppose we could have scored even more, since we almost had a constant possession and basically each half-action by our team was posing a serious danger to their defense and could have resulted in a goal. Oh, well, nothing more to see here, I suppose, let's go to the next game. How the other goals were, for those who've seen them?
I don't see a difference between matches played in FIFA window or outside FIFA window. Importance of the match Match importance Match importance factor (M) K-value FIFA Women's World Cup match 4 60 Women's Olympic football tournament 4 60 FIFA Women's World Cup qualifier 3 45 Women's Olympic football qualifier 3 45 Women's Continental finals match 3 45 Women's Continental qualifier 2 30 Women's friendly match between two Top 10 teams 2 30 Women's friendly match 1 15 Only question is: Is it a Continental finals match? Likely not because we have the Asian Cup.
@Lohmann I was lookin at this page https://football-ranking.com/fifa-world-rankings-calculate (scroll to the bottom) Friendly International Friendly International outside of FIFA days Friendly matches played outside of International Match Calendar windows (I=5) 5 Friendly International Friendly International inside of FIFA days Friendly matches played during International Match Calendar windows (I=10) 10
A win by scoring 6+ goals and conceding no goals is the best result possible. The ranking difference between Japan and Bangladesh is 907 points so I guess it`s impossible to not lose points but it will be likely less than 1 point.
Looks like we have dragonflies invasion above the pitch. Is this match played in a port city or one close to the river? EDIT ... 28 mins 3-0
Iwabuchi is the guest commentator today and may I say I really like her voice. She is also saying lots of sensible stuff. Nadeshiko have just scored a third through Takahashi.
Nice goal from Hasegawa with a nice pass from Tanaka. I think with the Olympic qualifiers coming up it would have been better for Nadeshiko to play either one of the Koreas or China. It is all just a bit too easy for them. But they are playing some very nice football.
Nadeshiko League 1 H.T....Ehime 0-1 Orca Still think Ehime can get something out of this game...we'll see
