dailyindependentnig.com/2014/10/nigeria-slumps-fifa-rankings/ Super Eagles has dropped five places in this month’s FIFA Rankings released on Thursday, dropping out of the top 40 down to 42nd in the world. Ghana also did not fare better as it dropped to 35th. Nigeria ’s drop from last month’s 38th comes after it lost and beat Sudan in its last two Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers earlier in the month. Super Eagles interim coach, Amodu Shuaibu, will now have another goal– to steer Nigeria back up in the Rankings with the Nations Cup qualifiers against Congo and South Africa next month. Eagles is now the ninth-ranked African side behind Algeria, Cote d’Ivoire, Tunisia, Ghana, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Egypt and Senegal. Its drop comes after losing 1-0 to Sudan in Khartoum after playing out a 0-0 draw in South Africa . Meanwhile, Algeria remains at the summit of African football with 989 points, which put it in the 15th position in the world, while Cote d’Ivoire is second in Africa and ranked 25th in the world. Tunisia stays third on the continent after amassing 780 points, which places it in the 31st spot in the world. Germany , Argentina and Colombia hold the first, second and third spots in the world respectively as FIFA World Cup hosts Brazil retained its sixth spot in the world. Portugal returned to top 10 with its two steps upward movement while Switzerland dropped out of the top 10 to place 12 on the Rankings. The next ranking will be released on November 27, 2014. |
