In 2006, after the World Cup in Germany, has introduced a new algorithm for ranking points, which is valid until today. The number of points to be awarded for a match played depends on the following factors:     What ended the match result? (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw and a defeat 0 points) – M     How important was this game? (From the friendlies after the FIFA World Cup) – I     How strong was the enemy? (Which takes place in the FIFA Ranking) – T     Which continent is the enemy? (Eg, European countries are generally stronger than Asian) – C All of these factors are multiplied among themselves and get points for that match – P P = M * I * T * C * 100 The total number of points for a given country is the average number of points for all games played in the last 4 years with bonus matches played recently. Games played within the last 12 months have a weight of 100%, while those in subsequent years, respectively weighting of 50%, 30% and 20%.

When was the last time you were late for training? I’m never late and I’m even training through the summer to get myself ready for next season after my injury problems.

Noel Whelan and Paul Telfer are the worst two at the club for lateness. Noel lost his driving license a few months back and Telf is driving him everywhere so when one is late the other one is too.

When was the last time you have won on the lottery?

I do the damn thing every week and have never even won a tenner. Perhaps I should realise by now that I’m wasting my money. A few of the lads at Coventry do it as well but they cannot be as unlucky as me.

When was the last time you have went on holiday? I went to Spain where my father-in-law has got a place. Javea is the name of the area and if s very n ice. I’ve been to Tenerife a couple of times and that’s not bad, though we would all do anything to get away from this weather at the moment. You can’t even watch Wimbledon this summer it’s so bad.

When was the last time you paid to see a game?

It was the Portsmouth v Liverpool FA Cup Semi-Final in 1992. I was born in Portsmouth, played for the club and they are still my team. I remember Liverpool getting a late goal to stop Pompey from going to Wembley. It turned into a bit of a disastrous day – so disappointing!

When was the last time you’ve went to a sporting event other than football?

Nigel Benn was fighting at the NEC in Birmingham a couple of years back and the atmosphere was incredible. I think it was against Henry Wharton. By the end of the night there had been more fights in the crowd than there had been in the ring but I like boxing and you can’t beat a big fight night.

What do you think about:

Being out injured for most of ’97?

The only good thing is that I’ve got youth on my side. While I was out injured, Ian Wright passed on some kind advice. He said ‘You’re good enough and you’ll get a taste of Chelsea’s success later on so don’t let it get you down’. I’ve taken that on board and I feel that l’n1 good enough and the way the club’s going, there/s no reason why I shouldn’t sample another Cup Final this season, a run in European football or even a Championship. David Lee was out at the same time as me and we worked hard together. When I was down, he picked me up and I did the same for him. But now I’m on a high and I’m buzzing for the club. I’m doing something I love and I’m playing now for one of the top clubs in the country.

Chelsea youngsters?

The gaffer’s shown he has faith in youth – if you’re good enough you’re old enough. He’s giving young players a taste of it and it makes them want more. Ruud knows what he’s doing. By playing the likes of Mark Nicholls, Jody Morris and Nick Crittenden, he’s shown them what to expect without weakening the side too much. He brings the experienced players back in for the really big games but if they are injured, the young lads can be relied on not to let him down when it matters.

Playing for Hoddle and Gullit?

I’m so glad they both came into my career when they did because my education has blossomed, my game has improved and I certainly don’t feel like a 22-year-old. I want to keep learning and when I go with the England Under-21 s. I think I’m still learning from Glenn via the things he passes on to the manager, Peter Taylor. I’m always picking the older players’ brains as well because they have experience to pass on and that can only benefit my game. I want to be a 24-year-old with a 34-year-old’s view of the game. He comes into the defence and strolls through a game in my position likes he’s always played there! But that’s just down to experience. Glenn Hoddle was the same., When I played reserve games with him, he played sweeper and he knew what he was doing. His positioning was superb because of his knowledge. Hopefully, by the time I’m 26, I’m looking to have that ability and be able to stroll through games, not because it’s easy but because I’ll have that experience.

Playing for England?

I’ve got the best target to aim for in France 98 and even if I don’t make it, I should be a good player and hopefully have some experience with the full squad by next season. I’m aiming for the World Cup and will hopefully squeeze in but there are so many good young defenders. There’s Rio Ferdinand, Gareth Southgate and Sol Campbell, who’s playing on top of the world at the moment. Tony Adams is still there as well. It’s good for English football that there are so many good defenders, but perhaps not so good for me.

Getting stick from the stands?

We can’t win – we’re there to be shouted at and as a professional, you’ve just got to get on with the game. But you just hope that if the supporters do hurl abuse, you hope that the stewards or police throw them out of the ground because you can’t turn round and shout ‘You whatever!’ We’d get reported to the police if we did.

Improving as a player?

I just keep it simple. I don’t want to start trying to ping balls 60 yards which I can’t do. The more I keep it simple, the more I look good and people will say, ‘He’s a good defender’. I keep the ball for us and that’s what managers want: a defender who can win the ball and keep possession. If you win it well and then pass straight to the opposition, the fans hate it. The players around me know what I can do – ‘Doobs will win the ball and then give it to those who can pass’. If the option’s on, I pass to Frank Leboeuf or Dennis Wise ‘cos they can hit 60 yard passes. The fans notice my work and that gives me pleasure as well.

Your work with Let’s Kick Racism Out Of Football?

Racism still exists and we want to stamp it out. I haven’t experienced such as a professional, only with Chelsea when we played in Europe t bout three years ago. But as a kid,’ got a little sample of it and that’s I he most disturbing. I saw grown dults, women as well, shouting Black this, black that’ and as a kid you don’t need to hear that stuff.

Racism at Chelsea?

I’ve been at the club about ‘sev years and I’ve not really witnessed any racism. You hear stories ab years ago when they were real : bad but they’ve changed their ways and taken to black player. The fans have taken to Ruud so now he’s one of their own and they worship him. They think of him as top man and they would do that if they were narrow-minded racists. Chelsea, as a football club is certainly looking up. We now get families and kids at the games and if someone w shouting racist abuse, I think th would get slaughtered here.

Black managers?

It was high profile to have a black manager but now no-one talks about it., Maybe it’s a smokescreen to what’s really happening. Perhaps there is more racism than there appears. Ruud being boss i , a good thing, the same as Paul Ince being England captain. Peo now say race doesn’t really matter and it doesn’t to managers but there are small-minded people in the stands who can’t handle it.

Everyone who created their personal account, after registration and filling in the application forms for Euro 2012 tickets took part in the lottery. The regulations for the tickets for football – or for Americans – soccer matches were very strict. You could not apply for more than 4 individual tickets for one match, for the tickets on two football matches held on the same date or choose the seats, only the zone on the stadium.

If you have not been successful in the lottery, there are still several ways to obtain the Euro 2012 tickets. One of them is the second lottery, from the tickets that people give up on. In July 2011, another UEFA website to apply for the tickets that will have been returned will be launched. Another way is to wait for and actively participate in promotions organized by UEFA sponsors, e.g. Carlsberg, Coca-Cola or McDonald. They have received a pool of tickets and will certainly use them to attract sports fans. There will also be a possibility to communicate with people who want to sell their football tickets on other official portals.
