Sadio Mane-inspired Senegal climbed four places to 17th in the FIFA world rankings on Thursday after home and away Africa Cup of Nations qualifying victories over Guinea-Bissau.

The Teranga Lions, whose stars include Liverpool forward Mane and Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly, are the only one of 48 Cup of Nations contenders who boast a 100 percent record after four matchdays.

Tunisia, Algeria, Nigeria, Morocco, Ghana, Cameroon, Egypt, Mali and Burkina Faso complete the African top 10.

until **** is gone, I expect the SE to continue to fail and miss out of Qatar 2022. I won't lose one single sleep and hopefully after we fail to qualify una eyes go open. Then we can rebuild with a better manager or a Nigerian coach

See mugu. Who cares if u lose sleep? You should stop supporting SE until SIASIA takes over again, that way u can have a really long sleep,save bandwidth and pollution of CE.

[vancity eagle]

The article doesn't even mention Nigerias ranking and you had to pollute the forum with your nonsense.

[Odas]

Either way, a fall in ranking will not be surprising. Except the top ranking teams, a team certainly will fall when it loses a game. Playing DRAWS with Sierra Leone in two legs will even push us further down come next ranking

Exactly.
I believe Pinnick specifically mentioned this in his dressing room rant after the 4-4 draw.

And it may come to bite us in the #$%! The 10 group winners will be seeded for Qatar 2022. What we don't want is to be out of the top five in Africa and having to play Senegal, Algeria, Morocco, or Egypt in a home and away to qualify for the World cup! I don't think this Super Eagles team can team any of these teams home and away!

Africa's top ten (global ranking in brackets)

1. Senegal (20)
2. Tunisia (26)
3. Algeria (31)
4= Nigeria (35)
4= Morocco (35)
6. Egypt (49)
7. Cameroon (50)
8. Ghana (52)
9. Mali (57)
10. Burkina Faso (58)

failure and poor results are the new norm.. The SE on a downward spiral . by this time next year nah we could have should have dem go dey talk

Well, you might be correct, but you might be wrong also. I think there are chances for us to recover, though

Undertaker,

In my view, the Top 9 teams on that list are closely matched. Thus, each group, is likely to have two teams that will ultimately battle for one spot to the WC. Thus, it matters little whether you are a #1 or #2 seed for the most part. This, in my view, clearly makes the argument that Africa should have more representation at the WC given the stiff battle at the qualifying stage which may be far than elsewhere, bar South America.

I disagreed! I would rather match up with the 6-10 teams than the 1-5 teams in an home and away format to qualify for the World Cup. We can probably get our act together and beat any of the 1-5 teams but it will be more difficult than playing the 6-10 teams home and away!

Also, I don't believe Africa deserve more slots at the WC. We don't do $@#% at the World Cup! We won two matches I think in 2018 out of 15?

Ahhhhh!
So game results now matter? DANG!!!

I thought the only thing that mattered was to win AFCON, regardless of how?
So why are you throwing a fit over ordinary result-dependent rankings?

They are not important nah, according to you people!

[kalani JR]

I want to be angry about this but does anyone still care about FIFA rankings?

I told them long ago these matches are NOT ORDINARY friendlies because FIFA will use the game results in ranking teams, but they were adamant and continued with their deceiving believes.

Naw, e don hapon and dem dey cry. Wetin dem dey cry for?
