The ranking list has been published for the month of November by the Federation of International Sport of Table Football (FISTF), and Massimo Cremona has kept his 2nd ranking place, now for the sixth consecutive month and it looks like he is going to finish Year 2005 on this position.

The distance from world number 1, Dutchman Verhagen is still far away but he has a good advantage from third-placed Guimares of Portugal.

Very hard training as well as competing as much as possible in foreign International tournaments was the key to reaching and keeping this position for Cremona.

Ireland, Norway, Rep of Ireland, Scotland, Spain and Wales.

He is currently engaged and playing in Italy with Serie A giants CS Reggiana with whom, he already helped them reach the Champions League Final of Table Football held in Murcia, Spain where he featured in all of his club’s matches so far, after his transfer from Belgium side SC Tempoux last August.

Last weekend, Cremona was in Naples, to feature for his club CS Reggiana in the Coppa Italia reserved for teams.

In the group phase CS Reggiana won their respective group with three consecutive wins against Ternana 4-0, Versilia 4-0 and Torino 2-1

In the Last 16, then they had the better of Triestina 3-0 before going out in the quarter final to Perugia 1-2. Same identical score between these two sides as the Champions League final two weeks earlier in Murcia, Spain.
