There is a way the rankings work

Belgium have been number for long without winning anything

Being 3rd in Africa is not for any show ,it’s the right position

The Italian national team where ranked ahead of many second round and quarter finalist at the 2018 World Cup while they didn’t make it to the tournament

Recent incident doesn’t mean Ghana and co will now be above us ,Ghana are 61st and might need to make a quarter final at the World Cup to change things at the end of the year
I don’t care where Ghana or other African country are placed in the World Cup or fifa rankings

Nigeria national team is like that of the usmnt
All hype with nothing to show for it. Just look at the game very well. I don’t see us winning afcon in the next 10 years. Except every player is dropped

Belgium makes it far in tournaments unlike green and white.
Belgium score goals unlike green and white
No african team makes it far at the World Cup as of recent

Nigeria also do make it far at the afcon till recently ,you are sounding like Nigeria have been playing afcon and be exiting the group stage for years

Calm down ,Belgium exited at the next round of the euros recently ,we can’t use that to judge them but you want to use the same position to judge nigeria rankings

Oga it’s pure hype. Moses Simon and co and have professional to rely on, but who does the national team have.
Except ndidi, aribo,osimehn and Moses.
I don’t think the rest players are undroppable in their clubs. All of them are what we call role players in basketball terms

Nigeria national team is not as the USA National team ,USA national team is no hype ,it seems you think football is basket ball

There is nobody hyping the USA national team ,stop giving me wrong information

Every player is dropped ? Football doesn’t work that way ,if football worked on such way the national team will be empty

Others team missed out at the 2018 World Cup and heaven didn’t fall ,we missed out Qatar and there is nothing wrong in that as we have to move on

Curtisaxel10:
When I pointed out Osimhen's deficiencies after the first game, I was nearly nailed to the cross. Now, you all can see for yourselves.

A good striker is not determined by headless chicken runs. There must be a level of guile, wile and technicality in you to be one.

I am sure the brown envelope hypeman is somewhere now plotting a comeback.

He will soon return and the "monster machine" chorus will resume again. We never learn!
Baba cut Osimhen some slack.

He was the only one that played with zeal, determination and as if something was at stake. It's unfair to dump on him.

My only criticism of Osimhen (not limited to the WCQ Play-Off) is his susceptibility to offside traps set by defenders.

So if a player is doing well for his club we should not praise him ? Lol

What did the Aribo and did for 180 minutes since you said others are hype and they aren’t ?

You claim our players are hyped ,now you have to choose your favorite players and not call them hypes but others you don’t like are hypes

We hype our players here but it’s only ndidi we do call world class

You are just letting your frustration get over you instead of you to be sincere with yourself .

It’s only few new players and GK department

What exact players do you want if I may ask ,please list your first 11 let me see grin

You want aina Dennis zaidu Ekong onyeka Chukwueze lookman to stop playing for the eagles because they didn’t qualify for the World Cup ,you are very funny grin

Many of Cameroon players that failed to make it to the last World Cup are the ones that still helped their team to qualify .

We played at the 2019 afcon and the one that just ended ,so I don’t know which afcon we didn’t qualify

We didn’t qualify for the World Cup no be new thing ,Netherlands with top players failed the last time and the same set have qualified them now ,maybe if you where the coach you would have emptied the national team

Bottled 4-0 lead at home didn’t stop us from topping that group so that’s unnecessary to rant about sir

For the first time in many afcon we exited at the next round ,yet you are making it look like it has been happening

Ekong didn’t do anything wrong in the 2 legs against Ghana ,it’s your so called forwards that could not score for 180 minutes

It’s was same Ekong that was brave enough to take a pk ,which I am sure most of the forwards will be filled with tension grin

If ndidi play that game you self go don find 1 fault for am

Why should eguavonnbe allowed to go back to the position of technical advisor after taking a critical task of qualifying Nigeria to the world cup which he wasn't competent for?
Amaju Pinnick has been around too long I think he should give others the opportunity to prove themselves

No need directing the words to me. I'm not responsible for the damage to the league. I have no business with the Nigerian league in any way.

I'm also not the one to invest in it. I have made posts back in time about what can be done to the league. But for now, picking players from the league is a huge no. It is still the same sentiment that brought Eguavoen, a coach averse to success into the helm of affairs.
We like half measures and over night success that's why Nigerians cut corners just to make money by whatever means.
Fixing the league will bring lasting solutions but it's not trendy because it doesn't guarantee a 3 months turn around success which comes with begging Alaba and Tammy Abraham to come play for Super Eagles.

I know one day we’ll be free from the grip of the ‘94 set. They pressured the sport minister till he forced Pinnick to hire one of them. I’m sure Pinnick must be beating himself up for not following his instinct and bringing in Paseiro
How that deal fell through is beyond shocking.

three-time Africa champions ended March on a positive note after the disappointment of missing out on a fourth consecutive appearance at the football fiesta

The Super Eagles have moved two steps up to the 30th best in the latest FIFA world ranking released today, Thursday, March 31st.

Nigeria have also climbed to third in Africa, behind only top-ranking Senegal and second-place Morocco. Egypt and Tunisia complete the continent’s best five national teams.

Nigeria previously sat 32nd in the world and 5th in Africa before Thursday’s release.

It is a tiny ray of light in a dark moment for the Super Eagles after the former Afcon kings failed to qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar on Tuesday.

Nigeria lost on away goal rule to Ghana after drawing 0-0 to the Black Stars in Kumasi and managing only a 1-1 draw in Abuja.


The Nigeria Football Federation has since announced the disbandment of the team’s technical crew, with Augustine Eguavoen stepping down as caretaker coach.

Nigeria’s conqueror, Ghana, swapped 61st position for 60th, while 56th-placed Burkina Faso beat the Black Stars to Africa’s top ten.



However, Brazil has overtaken Belgium as the number one team in the world, with the Red Devils settling for the second spot. France follow in third while Argentina and England complete the top five globally. Italy, Spain, Portugal, Mexico, Netherlands are all in the top 10.

Others that made the top 20 list are Denmark, Germany, Uruguay, Switzerland, USA, Croatia, Colombia, Wales, Sweden, and Senegal
Already told someone how fifa rankings work

Glad to see this
