Joebie: Bros on this one you win. You are very correct, no contest ,we can see the rankings in black and white. I am not the one to argue blindly especially when results are on ground. But my new premise is this, You don't drop points or have points deducted for playing draw either with teams far above or below you. You only lose points when the fourth year dead weight rankings get removed from your calculations, that's why it looks as if points get deducted from you, it doesn't. The error in my postulation was because I didn't factor in our fourth year rankings which stretched far back to 2013 in my earlier calculations. |

neighy: this German coach rating will shift other managers attention away from us , thank God fifa added their own to it , which make it look like double tragedy ... but its a blessibng in disguise, cos the team is not ready yet and we re far from it , until we have a solid defence and prolific strikers upfront .... as it stands , going to world cup with this present crop of players , its still second round as usual. Morocco had the best defence and conceded the least no. of goals in the world cup qualifiers .... this is an opportunity to seat tight and put things in place , if we must do well . 4 Likes |

realpoacher: Here you go again. It is not simple straight arithmetic calculation. We lost over 70points from that Algeria draw. The Argentina win redeemed us a bit. Maybe na 60th position we for find ourselves. When you draw or lose to a team that is less than you in ranking. It will negate your points. The further the team is behind you the more the deduction. Algeria were about 20 places behind us. You draw with such a team and you get a massive deduction. It was a case of 3 steps backwards and 1 step forwards for us. Or more precisely 70 points deduction and 20 points addition. The Algeria game carried 2.5 points while the Argentina game carried only 1 point. cc: Bascovanveli |

So I was just thinking last night how a country like Poland (and to some extent Portugal) played and manipulated the FIFA ranking game to find themselves in the pot 1. This something we could discuss here and make some recommendations to the NFF regarding the 2022 World Cup. I mean, Poland has shown that you can game the system and that's not cheating .... it's called gaining a competitive edge ![]() Anyway, let's put on our thinking caps on and come up with ways we can make FIFA ranking work for the Super Eagles going forward.

Icon79: You and I know that if we face Poland in a competitive game it is not likely they defeat us. In fact it is either we beat them or the game ends in a draw. What a team like Poland benefitted from is playing against teams that are highly ranked. Get a couple of victories in the WC qualifiers in Europe and you see your points jump. Besides, games involving UEFA and South American teams in WC qualifiers carry more weight than those of Africa and Asia. Two major setbacks for African teams are: 1. Our results don't carry as much weight as those of Europe and S/America. 2. Most African teams have poor rankings. So if you like beat Cameroon 4-0 and Zambia 6-0. You just make little progress. And worse still if you lose or draw with any of those poorly ranked African teams u see your points come crashing. By and large I think the major opportunity we have towards having good seeding for the 2022 WC is to perform very well in the 2018 WC. The WC results carry the heaviest weights of 4points! If we can beat at least 2 of any of those teams ranked in Pot1 it would really be a good booster for us. And if we can follow it up with winning our remaining 2019 AFCON qualifiers and also winning the 2019 AFCON. We also need to follow it up with at least an excellent showing at the 2021 AFCON. 2022 WC draws would be made around December 2021. It means results of 2018 WC down to late 2021 would be part of the factors in the ranking points (FIFA uses results from the last 4years). To be realistic, that Pot1 would be difficult for any African team. Even from my analysis above we may just be in pot2. 6 Likes |

Icon4s:If we are to use the ranking of the last 4 years then Poland shouldn't be in the top 10 neither should Wales be among the top 20s. True over the past 2 years the only matches we lost was away to Egypt and a home defeat to SA not like we were on a free fall. I still don't get why our draw to Algeria would mean we'd fall down the ranking. Cameroon ranked above us drew to a Zambian teams that are 30 spaces below them but were not on a free fall. Fifa shouldn't use an accumulated year to rank but the year in review. From September 2016 till date Nigeria has 5 wins 4 draws and a defeat in the 10 games played. 2 Likes |

Kakamorufu:We do not have to beg Nike to use these designs. Let's let the various clubsides in our localities know that we have creative minds who can design sports kits for their Clubs. Most Clubsides don't care what their sponsors bring on the table. I am surprised that even the so called old and popular clubsides have kits that look way less than what they should pay for both in beauty and quality of the design. 2 Likes |
