We don't reckon with FIFA ranking anyway. If you have doubts, ask Algeria, Cameroon and Argentina about us!

Those people doing that FIFA RANKING, I don't know what they are smoking, Countries like Congo DR, Burkina Faso, Cameroon even Egypt still above Nigeria, how come?
Even after beating Argentina, doing well in WC qualifiers, we went down from 41 - 50th position.

Nigeria drops to 50 on the latest FIFA ranking. We qualified for the world cup Unbeaten. We beat Argentina who are above us on the ranking, yet we dropped. The entire FIFA is drunk.

So, despite (almost) beating Algeria away & drubbing Argentina, we DROPPED 9 places (from 41-50) in the rankings. Whatever FIFA's criteria are, they're a joke! they need to be reviewed!!!
