So u expect Nigeria to be ahead of England because england crashed in the first round while. Nigeria made it to the second round. Brother it is not judged entirely like that, if so then Colombia should not be above Brazil. England dropped 10 places to 20th which is because of their poor wold cup showing. Past friendly and qualifiers are also put into consideration. Don't forget Nigeria did not win any of their warm up matches. In fact I can't remember the last time Nigeria won an international friendly .

so to you,where should Nigeria be considering also where other African teams are.
