So SUYA is Cameroon the only team we should always look out for, Even though we beat them they're still ranked better than us. I bet you if we don't play friendlies , by this time next yr we'll be outside the top 70. remember EURO 2004 is close enough

Kizonzo well said. However that has been FIFA's ranking flaw ! Rewarding activity over substance. Forget Cameroon you know we are better than Iran !

What! We need to call Fifa and ask them to name one good quality team Iran has beaten in the last two years! We should also remind them that we are talking about soccer not "WAR" I think Fifa is just afraid of Iran and that is why they are rank so high!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
