The FIFA rankings have always been a source of controversy each time they are released. Not even seasoned football analyst know how they go about it. I really don't know why FIFA has refused to disclose the criteria they use in their rankings. Maybe they don't want anybody questioning their sense of judgement if the criteria are released. |

We shouldn't be worried about the country we would be playing against. What our team should do is be very serious with the first leg. Once they can achieve a good result in the first leg and put up enough for the second leg, then we would be in Brazil. |

JMOI: Naija carry go jare, nothing do una. So after Nigeria won the African Cup of Nations countries like Algeria and Ghana are still above us How does FIFA come up with this forgery known as the FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking? Colombia of all teams is at number 5. Oooooo It is not based on a 5-match tournament (which Nigeria still drew 2 matches in, anyway). It is based on aggregated performance over a number of years (3years, I think). Before our resurgence late last year, we had poor run, culminating in not qualifying for Nations cup just last year. All of them still counting. 1 Like |

sweetcheecks: South Africa really needs a miracle currently they stink! My brother, in Africa we play soccer in the boardroom for points and in FIFA headquarters in Zurich, also all sorts of silly mind games instead of getting into business on the pitch, this is what is killing our soccer, we are too desperate, we want the easy way out. |

Fifa rankings are based on performance over the last four years and are based on raw results. Nigeria has drawn quite a number of matches with mediocre countries and our performance in 2010-2012 was very poor. 2 Likes |

scholes23: 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. Hang urself if u want. Ghana for lyf 1 Like |
