Nigeria Drops To 63rd On FIFA Rankings by sportvibes: 4:50pm On May 09, 2012
Nigeria - who have competed at four World Cups and won two Africa Cup of Nations tournaments - have now dropped below Sierra Leone in the rankings.

The country is now 63rd in the world and 12th in Africa.
Sierra Leone, whose population of six million is dwarfed by Nigeria's total in excess of 160m, have never travelled to a World Cup and have only ever competed at two Nations Cups - in 1994 and 1996.


In comparison to last month, there were only a few changes to the latest edition of the FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking. In many countries, the national championships are drawing to a close, which explains the small number of matches played at international level: only eight, all of which were friendlies, unfolded over the past month.

Keep on living in fool's paradise.
In Eagle's current form, even India can give them a good whooping.
Be thankful that FIFA decided to keep them above 100.
