sure rankings do not play the game present form of the players involved, coach, team spirit, etc Is what matters. However its nice to know where we are rated so we can continue to aspire.

ranking are not only based on current form but a combination of current form and previous performance so our position is about right

Re: New Fifa Ranking: Nigeria Now World Number 15 by Ikhilor(m): 4:20pm On Feb 03, 2010
I hope some will not start to insinuate we gave FIFA bribe?This is the accumulation of results and that means Amodu is not as bad as some hypocrites will want us believe,let that man be,else, karma will fall again and before we know it we,ll be back to square one.
NIGERIANS, LEAVE AMODU TO DO HIS JOB
Re: New Fifa Ranking: Nigeria Now World Number 15 by JeSoul(f): 4:30pm On Feb 03, 2010
I couldn't believe it myself so I went and searched a couple sites asides from fifa to make sure it wasn't a typo and lo and behold, we're really #15 . . . I wonder who we bribed and how much grin

Oh indeed, If we were ranked number 100 the ranking would be true I guess.Appreciate your own.
Re: New Fifa Ranking: Nigeria Now World Number 15 by vislabraye(m): 8:17pm On Feb 03, 2010
I dont see the benefits of FIFA ranknig even if we are no. 1.
Nigeria is known to be one of the biggest footballing nations in Africa and also the world. But doing well in the mundial will make me happier
Re: New Fifa Ranking: Nigeria Now World Number 15 by chidyke77(m): 8:41pm On Feb 03, 2010

Amodu should stay! He will improve with time and discover his weak points

Rome was not built in a day

Let fifa continue deceiving us
Re: New Fifa Ranking: Nigeria Now World Number 15 by Gekko(m): 12:25am On Feb 04, 2010
I just hope this doesn't boost amodu's ego. He needs a permanent leave of absence.
Re: New Fifa Ranking: Nigeria Now World Number 15 by mendax: 12:32am On Feb 04, 2010
cant u guys read? someone has pasted the rankings for u all on comment #10, the updated fifa ranking just reflects teams that played in the african cup of nations and friendlies, the last column reflects this, thats y u'll notice most other nations didnt move. for example they added a whopping 108 points to nigeria to move us 7 places, while most other nations just stood still.

so we shouldnt start celebrating yet. and do we even need a fifa ranking to know the state of our football?
Re: New Fifa Ranking: Nigeria Now World Number 15 by badman(m): 12:35am On Feb 04, 2010
meaning we should through to the quarter finals grin

but on field these boys shld be rated 51 not 15
Re: New Fifa Ranking: Nigeria Now World Number 15 by sulad82i(m): 12:38am On Feb 04, 2010
No be new thing we all know this Nigeria team is a bag of boys running around on the field with no mission just to get paid.
Re: New Fifa Ranking: Nigeria Now World Number 15 by lordkrato(m): 12:53am On Feb 04, 2010
SErious!!!!!!!! Nigeria that didn't score more than 10 goals at ACN? Pls amodu shud stay becos it seems he is another "GOODLUCK" becos he qualified nigeria to the world cup,achieved the target of semi final for the ACN even though his style of coaching and soccer is loathsome but on paper he gud man undecided undecided undecided
Re: New Fifa Ranking: Nigeria Now World Number 15 by ElRazur: 1:05am On Feb 04, 2010
We ranked high because others have fallen several places and points. Simply put, we seem to have improved because of the failures of others. smiley Cameroon appear to have dropped about 7 places or so etc.
Re: New Fifa Ranking: Nigeria Now World Number 15 by ayettymama(f): 1:06am On Feb 04, 2010
nigeria is better than cameroun??

inno some people who will be very mad at this ranking!!
Re: New Fifa Ranking: Nigeria Now World Number 15 by shilling(f): 1:15am On Feb 04, 2010

Re: New Fifa Ranking: Nigeria Now World Number 15 by TPS360: 4:08am On Feb 04, 2010

Re: New Fifa Ranking: Nigeria Now World Number 15 by whiteroses(f): 4:13am On Feb 04, 2010
at least ghana is not on the list, i dont mind if we rupo, as long as we beat ghana or ghana isn't on the list then its all gravy baby
Re: New Fifa Ranking: Nigeria Now World Number 15 by slap1(m): 6:26am On Feb 04, 2010
God bless Amodu!
Re: New Fifa Ranking: Nigeria Now World Number 15 by keismail: 7:59am On Feb 04, 2010
shei,dis FIFA don kill us wit dis stupid ranking,instead of showing our secrete 2 d world,they re given dis argentine another cause 2 strategise plan 2 bury us finish.well God will save d likes of taye taiwo 4rm messy mess.
Re: New Fifa Ranking: Nigeria Now World Number 15 by 49cents(m): 8:13am On Feb 04, 2010
I think Amodu the luckiest coach i have ever seen, somegthing just get working for him despite his quality of coaching which is quite far from intelligent, two qualifications, a bronze medal at Angola, now a 15th position for SE in FIFA ranking; i know his team will always be wack but his luck may get us to our first quarter final at the mundial
Re: New Fifa Ranking: Nigeria Now World Number 15 by FBS: 8:16am On Feb 04, 2010
FIFA ranking? pluzzzzz! I could care less.  cool
Tap me correct soccer abeg.
Re: New Fifa Ranking: Nigeria Now World Number 15 by princekevo(m): 8:23am On Feb 04, 2010
I think this FIFA sef is basing this their ranking on past Glory. Why is Nigeria and Cameroon ranked above ghana and CIV? We all know that since 2008 Ghana and CIV has been at their  peak on African football. The same Nigeria team that couldnt beat Ghana under 21. I hope the NFF wont be carried aways by this in their friday decision making on Amodu.
