Not bad, but Dresden is better than Dusseldorf, and how does Danube all of a sudden jump to 5? Swarco is better and was ranked higher in the previous rankings, why would they jump past Graz or Swarco after being ranked below them previously?

I just want to applaud you for getting Towers on there.. Haven't played in a european for years, but have beaten both Razorbacks and Gold Diggers. We did a poll on Best Team in Denmark on USFootball and Towers were the clear winner. So well done recognizing the Towers.

Just thought I would make a positive comment, since people seemingly only comment their criticism.

Joop: Parma performed poorly in Euobowl play and Thonan lost to Amiens in the French final. The Flash had a tough season. It is difficult with all these different seasons.
Posted by Johannes Woudenberg 9 months ago
Parma Panthers and Thonon Black Panthers should be higher on the list, did is just my opinion.Achieved very well in Europe and in their own country. What happen to Flash from Paris?

That was an oversight. I do not know how I missed it. I had you on there last week. I will correct and I agree with you.

Hello,
I would like to ask the questions why the Dragons are not on the Europlayers Top 24 list? Beating the Graz Giants, almost the Vikings and Raiders would lead to a higher rank then no rank at all.
Your list is maybe not European´s list but would be an indicator for possible candidates (imports) who doesn´t know us.
Thank you
Ivan

Here are Europlayers latest rankings. Please feel free to comment.

Gentlemen: I do get things wrong at times and for that I apologize. The Rebels should not have been dropped and there will be changes. Again I speak with coaches and players all day and all night. Be patient and thank you for watching. I started the Top 24 because of the other two ranking systems are wrong. But your input is greatly appreciated.

Not sure how a team goes from #5 to not even on the list....especially when there are many teams we would smash on this list. #1 Defense in all of Germany. If we were good enough to be #5, then we still should be on this list somewhere, especially since we have not lost and been blowing people out since we showed up at #5 weeks ago. At least your rankings are not insane like football-aktuell.de which has 4 Swedish teams in the top 9 in Europe!!!! By the way we are ranked 10 in Europe and 3rd in Germany on theirs ;) I understand it is hard to really be able to put an accurate ranking together other than the top 8 or so, but to be in the top 5 and then dropped from the list, whats the logic/reasoning behind it? And the Zurich Renegades?? They didn't even reach the Swiss Final, didn't play any EFAF/Eurobowl games, what have they done and what makes them good enough to be 17? Helsinki Wolverines i am fine with, the Helsinki Roosters should not be on the list. If another Team from Finland should be on the list, its the Seinajoki Crocodiles. The Crocs are 8-1 Roosters are 7-2. The Crocs beat the Roosters twice this season, and the Crocs beat the Wolverines in their only match up this season.

Gentleman. I talk to coaches all over Europe to find out what happened in a game. I spend a great amount of time doing research. I know the Unicorns coach. Many times I find out things that no one else does. However, I do listen so all the comments are respected.

How is it that Dusseldorf and Marburg are ahead of the German Champs plays Hall is the best in German right now and Hot Berlin is not better then Kiel ahahah Stuttgart is not in the Members top 24 wow who doing the polls
Posted by Warren Smith 9 months ago

Posted by Warren Smith 9 months ago
this ranking is terrible, find a new way to evaluate this. Berlin rebels #5? there 3-5. wake up
Posted by Johannes Woudenberg 9 months ago
Do not understand ranking, sorry. What is the priority you need?
Posted by Patrick Ogunji 10 months ago
really agree with the Calanda Broncos being the best team in europe
their performance in the eurobowl final was something d swiss league could be very proud of
Posted by Mathias Torp 10 months ago
Shouldn't Gold Diggers be higher on the list after winning the EFAF Cup or are they being dragged down by their two losses in NL?

Site members still rank London Blitz as No.10 in Europe after back to back defeats at the hands of the London Warriors
Posted by Clayton Banner 10 months ago
Looks goood!!
Posted by Patrick Ogunji 10 months ago
the europlayers' top 24 ranking is so far from reality..
how could any German team be ranked higher than the top two Austrian teams: Vikings and Raiders..
Guys go u even watch d games? :-O
Posted by Johannes Woudenberg 10 months ago
No.5 should be Parma Panthers and Danish have two Teams playing in the final EFAF Cup 2012.
Posted by Johannes Woudenberg 10 months ago
Sorry, this time I do not agrre 100%.No.1 should be Vikings and No.2 Calanda Broncos. No.3 Berlin Adler. No.4 Kiel Hurricanes.

That is just my personal opinion.

Sincerely,

Joop Woudenberg.

Maybe because the Berlin Rebels have won 2 games.
Posted by Roger Kelly 10 months ago
I am sorry but the football-aktuell rankings are so far off the mark. I wait for two weeks at a time and talk to coaches all over Europe to find out the reasons. Tell me how the Arlanda Jets are ranked ahead of the Berlin Rebels??
Posted by Marco Vergari 10 months ago
I hate to say this, but check this site out for a more accurate ranking that's updated weekly

I'm sorry, but why no Swedish teams on the rankings?
The Carlstad Crusaders beat Kiel Baltic Hurricanes in the european quarter finals last year, and this year, both the STU Northside Bulls and Tyresö Royal Crown have a 1-1 record against the Crusaders. Sweden has some of europes best football!
Posted by Richard Bonds 11 months ago
No offense to Zurich, but don't you have to beat the best in your own country first and play somebody to be the best in Europe no EFAF, no Swiss National Championship since 2008 I know I was there!I love you guys but "come on man"
The first list "Sweet" except #17 the second list "What da problem iss!!

Posted by Johannes Woudenberg 11 months ago
Agree with your list, maybe differences in 1 and 2 place. It is minor. Good job.

London Warriors not only beat the Blitz but also shut them out, they should be in the top 10

Lance: That was an oversight and I agree with you. Thanks for pointing it out.

How is it that Berlin Adler are not found on the Europlayers top list, but is a top 5 team on the other list? Typo?
Posted by Mark Maren 11 months ago
After making the trip overseas and watching a few games in person.. i would include with hesitation the Catania Elephants in the rankings.. they could compete with a healthy squad with many teams in Europe..

Posted by Vukasin Tomcic 11 months ago
My opinion is that Belgrade Vukovi(Serbia) should be in top 15...

With a contribution from Jarle Magnus Henriksen, head coach of the AFC Show in Norway, the Europlayers Top 25 is complete. This will appear again every two weeks throughout the rest of the season. Please, we encourage your input and comments. Teams close to the Top 25 include the Catania Elephants of Italy and the London Warriors.
