Looking at CAF's top 15...
Tunisia, Guinea, Morocco, Cape Verde and Uganda are climbing.
Cape Verde jumped up 47 places!
Why did they tumble in the first place?
CIV is steady with no changes while the rest tumbled.
Naija dropped by 6 positions.
If they had avoided the WC qualifiers altogether they would have climbed instead.

Typical skinny long legged bird mentality We don't care if we are ranked 1000 as long as we beat all comers and qualify for the WC, you (Uganda) can stay at home and be ranked the top team in AfricaKabalega wrote:http://www.fifa.com/fifa-world-ranking/ ... n/caf.html

Every team in the top 10 dropped several places apart from Tunisia and CIV.

When your ranking is high you can only improve by playing and beating higher ranking teams. That is why winning against lower ranked African teams will not improve your ranking. However the lower ranking teams will improve by getting some result against higher ranked teamsOrion wrote:Every team in the top 10 dropped several places apart from Tunisia and CIV.

I see? So Naija gained nothing when they beat lower ranked Cameroon, but when the SE drew later in the week, Cameroon gained points and the mighty Naija dropped points?pajimoh wrote:When your ranking is high you can only improve by playing and beating higher ranking teams.

How many games has naija lost that accounts for a drop in ranking?

Morocco gained a few positions.Orion wrote:Every team in the top 10 dropped several places apart from Tunisia and CIV.
However, it is the next several positions where you see many gems in the climbers, before the tumblers show up again.

FIFA needs to come up with a better system. The European teams have an unfair advantage
When qualification is secured by God's grace and we want to boost our ego (while preparing for the 'Oyinbos' we will face in Russia), we can schedule friendlies against Iceland (22), Northern Ireland (20), Mexica (14), Wales (13, Peru (12) and Poland (6).
That should send us shooting up the rankings quickly.

Abeg, it is time for Naija to schedule another friendly game against Luxembourg before things get out of hand.

Re: Anyone Notice the Latest FIFA Rankings? 9ja Dropped ...
What climb? Naija is not in the top 20 and you'e talking about climb? We don't measure climb like Uganda measures climb? We've climbed to 5th position before. Where we are is nothing. The most important thing is having a formidable team.

Re: Anyone Notice the Latest FIFA Rankings? 9ja Dropped ...
We just need to set up out HB eagles to play Leitchestein, Andorra, Gilbrata and San Marinos of the world if you want to be in the top 20. Imagine those 'Agidi' teams have better coefficient than African teams.bret- hart wrote:pajimoh wrote:When your ranking is high you can only improve by playing and beating higher ranking teams.

Our main team can also take on the likes of Iceland, Turkey, Rep of Ireland who are all beatable and ranked in the top 40

Re: Anyone Notice the Latest FIFA Rankings? 9ja Dropped ...
We got there with the old coefficient setup. The current one makes it almost impossible for African teams to move into top 5 unless you play UEFA and COMNEMBOL teams every chance you get.pajimoh wrote:What climb?

Now that Naija is active again, they like water, are finding out their true level.

You people should leave Kabalega. They Cranes now have the respect of Egyptian teenagers in Malls and an improved FIFA ranking. They are 2nd in their World Cup group, and they almost beat Nigeria a decade ago in Abeokuta. They beat Nigeria in 1978, and saved the Bredas from the Eagles. They have 3 decent ballers on their team. Onyango. Okwi & Miya.
That is a lot to celebrate and get excited by.
Watch your back though. The Bredas are angry & are now coached by James Appiah. They are playing well, but probably can't make it to the World Cup. They will likely take their frustration out on you in Kampala. As they showed with small Congo, getting a draw in Ghana may not save you from a 5 goal thumping in Uganda.
