olrotimi: Hw abt sm of u guys visit fifa.com & patiently read up d analysis xo u stop cming here evry mnth to spew same jargons. Jus tink of it, Arsenal has consistently misd the semis of Uefa for yrz nw bt stil remain in pot 1. These are technical analysis & nt beer parlour yarns
tell dem joor
femi4: They come here at the end of every month and spit rubbish, yet they know nothing about football.
To earn any appreciable/huge points, SE need to beat teams ranked higher than them and also hope that those teams drop points too.
Tell me, when was the last time SE defeat any team ranked by FIFA from 1-20?

How many competitive matches has Brazil played? How many qualifying matches to Brazil has Brazil played? How many teams(high ranked) has Brazil played?

We are playing Italy nxt mnth, IMO thats d kind of match we need to win b4 we cn hv an appreciable jump in the rankings. If i were NFF, i'd quickly organise friendlies with Belgium,Switzrland,Chile,Bosnia & Columbia. These are winnable games & wld fetch us massive ranking points haul.

Pastor Olu T: One thing and only one thing is needful, do not be deceived by the devil into getting too much attached to the things of the world. The devil is so subtle that he get you too busy even with good things and activities of religion, but not that which is needful. You major on the minor and minor on the major, and before you know it you have spent your life on the wrong things and it is too late.

But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou are careful and trouble about many things. But one thing is needful: And Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
Luke 10:40-42

Seconded.

I think our priority shud be winning all our matches, and the FIFA bullshit will automatically take care of itself.If we win all 7 matches at the World Cup,they(FIFA)will have no choice than to place us where we deserve in the rankings.
I think FIFA ranking affects CAF rankings.You cant be the highest ranked African team by FIFA and be ranked number 2 or 3 by CAF.It will not add up.Hence,Nigeria remains in number 4 behind CIV,Ghana and Algeria.
My take...

bro, the simple import of what u saying is that Nigerians are stupid and gullible and you just trying to use pretty words and your last line as a smoke-screen.

yes, FIFA have their method for ranking but because there is a system in place doesn't mean it can't be criticised. A couple of years ago, we were ranked 9th in the world and even we Nigerians criticised such a lofty position as we felt we didn't merit it so you can see we don't just cry foul without thinking.
The english climbed to sixth and even their country men (civilised people compared to Nigerians no doubt in your books) criticised the FIFA rankings so please don't look at this as a strictly Nigerian problem or mentality.

Why did Portugal go down in rankings? cry

I hnope they retain their top 5 position soon, they shouldn't be ranked 14th in my opinion.

And Nigeria should be second in Africa since no African team can beat them more than once.
