Nigeria drop four places in FIFA rankings – We won and we lost places, SA lost and they went up? Common FIFA!!!

Super Eagles performance at the FIFA Confederations Cup in Brazil has not helped their profile before the international football governing body as Nigeria dropped four places in the July edition of the monthly FIFA rankings released on Thursday. Nigeria beat Tahiti 6-1 and then fell to Uruguay and Spain 2-1 and 3-0 respectively.

The Africa champions, who last month occupied the 31st spot in the world, have now dropped to 35th position

But despite the slide for Nigeria, the Eagles, however, remain unmoved in the African ranking as they remain fourth on the continent behind the Elephants of Cote d’Ivoire, the Black Stars of Ghana, and the Eagles of Mali.

We defected all these countries and yet we are fourth in Africa? Ha! This is why FIFA rankings means absolutely nothing. How can they explain this?
