England will never leave the top 10 or even 5 because they're the most powerfull nation in FIFA..they invented the game of football for crying out loud. But i think nigeria deserves to be higher than 30. It just does'nt make any sense!! |

many people don't know how this works. FIFA ranking is based on performance over a number of years(don't know exactly, but probably 3 years or 36 months). The older the month, the lower the weight and the most recent carries more weight. Each month also weighed based on importance of match - more weigh for comptetitive, less for friendlies So assuming February 2013 - 36 points January 2013 - 35 points December 2012 - 34 point November 2012 - 33 point goes on till say May 2010 - 3 point April 2010 - 2 point March 2010 - 1 point Next month (March 2013), February becomes 35 and March becomes 36, while April 2010 becomes last month (1 point). Now, Nigeria did not qualify for 2012 ANC and had 0 (or few points if it played and won/drew friendlies) in those months. Mali had points (remember they came 3rd in that tourney). So if you aggregate those not-too-old good performance, Mali has an edge. Nigeria has good weight in recent performance but may not be enough to neutralize recent poor performances. But the good thing is the value of teh old bad performance reduces with time. And in any case, I think this current rating was up to January 31st (when we had only played the group matches - 2 draws, 1 win). So it may not include the QF, SF and Final wins (played in February) yet. |

Re: Eagles Now 30th In FIFA Rankings by Jarus(m): 2:35pm On Feb 14, 2013 |
Ghana is still ahead of us because: they came 4th in AFCON 2012 (which Nigeria did not qualify for); came 2nd in AFCON 2010. they didn't struggle in qualifiers like Nigeria (posted decent results) played more quality friendlies and won they gathered 7 points in AFCON group stage (played in January) and Nigeria had 5 points (quarters, semis and finals are February, not reading yet) Winning Nations cup (high weight both in terms of importance and recentness) is good, but it wont just erode past poor poor performance like that. This ranking is based is not based on just one match or one month. It covers at least 12 months, with the most recent carrying the heaviest weight. 1 Like |

Jarus: many people don't know how this works. I understand your points but I personally feel the criteria should be changed so that the rankings will be a truer reflection of reality. England above Italy, Ecuador above Brazil, Mali above Nigeria sounds truly weird |
