Ranking is based on consistency.If i'm not wrong Colombia are 2nd or 3rd in the South-American qualification series and they are on the verge of qualifying for the World cup after so many years.I am not saying they are better than Brazil though, but they have been consistent.And Don't you know who Radamel Falcao is?

Henry praise: How do u expect us to climb up d ladder wen we bask in local championing winning teams like Burkina Fasa, Gabon, SA, Eritrea, wats wrong in playin Germany, Ghana, england n let sum one may be our ludo team beat dis Uruguans for me.
So tell me how many big teams Algeria have beaten that made them to be ahead of us in fifa ranking, since they didn't play in last CAN? To me, fifa computer is sick of high fever,it's malfunctioning, need serious check up. If Algeria can be ahead of us who couldn't win a match in 2012 CAN and did not qualify for last edition, then how come?

It means this ranking is invalid.

FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking Procedure
How are points calculated in
the FIFA/Coca-Cola World
Ranking?
The basic logic of these calculations is simple:
any
team that does well in world football wins
points
which enable it to climb the world ranking.
A team’s total number of points over a four-
year
period is determined by adding:
· the average number of points gained from
matches during the past 12 months;
and
· the average number of points gained from
matches older than 12 months (depreciates
yearly).
Calculation of points for a single match
The number of points that can be won in a
match
depends on the following factors:
• Was the match won or drawn? (M)
• How important was the match (ranging from
a
friendly match to a FIFA World Cup™ match)?
(I)
• How strong was the opposing team in terms
of
ranking position and the confederation to
which they
belong? (T and C)
These factors are brought together in the
following
formula to ascertain the total number of points
(P).
P = M x I x T x C
The following criteria apply to the calculation
of
points:
M: Points for match result
Teams gain 3 points for a victory, 1 point for a
draw
and 0 points for a defeat. In a penalty shoot-
out, the
winning team gains 2 points and the losing
team
gains 1 point.
I: Importance of match
Friendly match (including small
competitions): I = 1.0
FIFA World Cup™ qualifier or confederation-
level
qualifier: I = 2.5
Confederation-level final competition or FIFA
Confederations Cup: I = 3.0
FIFA World Cup™ final
competition: I
= 4.0
T: Strength of opposing team
The strength of the opponents is based on the
formula: 200 – the ranking position of the
opponents
As an exception to this formula, the team at
the top
of the ranking is always assigned the value
200 and
the teams ranked 150th and below are
assigned a
minimum value of 50. The ranking position is
taken
from the opponents’ ranking in the most
recently
published FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking.
C: Strength of confederation
When calculating matches between teams
from
different confederations, the mean value of
the
confederations to which the two competing
teams
belong is used. The strength of a
confederation is
calculated on the basis of the number of
victories by
that confederation at the last three FIFA World
Cup™
competitions (see following page). Their
values are
as follows:
UEFA/CONMEBOL 1.00
CONCACAF 0.88
AFC/CAF 0.86 OFC
0.85

This should help those who keep asking how come some countries are ahead of others.

Please check your record very well, Algeria was at the last AFCON in South Africa. They were in the same group with Ivory Coast which both both team played 2-2. Actually, Algeria was leading in that match before Ivory Coast level up.

What baffles me in this ranking is that there are some countries that didn't play half of what Nigeria has been playing and they're even in top 20. Cote d ivore is just. There, nothing spectacular abt them, same with Ghana. Despite our performance before, during and after the nations cup. Even the likes of Panama, Venezuela, Peru and Algeria coming b4 us, a whole African Champions. Chai!!!!! 9ja don suffer. INSULT........ Politics in FIFA.

South Africa really needs a miracle currently they stink! cry

But Africa as a whole needs to pull up their socks no African country in the Top ten? Our past best teams Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Nigeria, Zambia have really lost ground. Whats happening? We really need a mind change revolution. Its not only about money but African pride people, this is the one of the only sports we can excell in. cry cry cry
