Nigeria's ranking by FIFA is so stupid! I am beginning to
think there is someone up there who does not like Nigeria! Maybe someone here
can help me,here goes.
The new FIFA Rankings have been released today
Thursday 17th
July and once again it has left me baffled.Nigeria have been ranked 34th in the
world and No 3 in Africa,next is Algeria
Nigeria won the Africa nations cup,beat and demolished the
overwhelming favourites Ivory Coast,did not lose a match in the tournament and
yet were not ranked No1 in Africa.Ghana,Algeria who didn't make last 4,Ivory
Coast who they had thrashed along the way and who didn't even make the top 4
were all placed above them.
In the world cup qualifying,Nigeria did not lose a game
either and despite being defending champions were outside the Top 3.Fast
forward to the World cup,Only Nigeria and Algeria make the last 16,Ivory Coast
did not,yet the rankings come out again and Algeria are 24th in the World No1
in Africa while Nigeria is No 3 in Africa and 34th in the world! Even Ivory
Coast who did not win the Nations cup or make the last 16 of the World cup are
2nd in Africa and 25th in the world!!! I will like to know what criteria they
use cos i think someone is seriously on an illegal substance at the FIFA
OFFICES!!
Oh by the way Germany and Argentina have been ranked 1st and
2nd respectively, so it's ok to be No 1 if you win the world cup and No 2 if
you came second,but not in Africa?
And the worst part is i don't hear anybody at the Nigeria
Football Federation curiously question this.The way things are,Nigeria will
have to win the World Cup to be No 2 in Africa!
Absolutely unbelievable! Muppets!
