African champions, Nigeria will end 2014 in 43rd place in the monthly
Fifa rankings released by the world football governing body yesterday
in Zurich.
HUMBLED: Super Eagles players listen to their coach before training
ahead of the return clash with Sudan on Wednesday.
The Super Eagles have dropped one place in the latest classifications
and are now ranked as the ninth best football playing nation in
Africa.
Nigeria amassed 656 points in the latest rankings.
Algeria, Tunisia, the Ivory Coast, Senegal, Ghana, Guinea, Cape Verde
and Cameroon are the African countries ranked above Nigeria in the
latest rankings.
Former national team coach, Christian Chukwu was assistant to
Dutchman, Clemens Westerhof when Nigeria attained their highest ever
position in the rankings (fifth) and he described the latest
development as "not good enough."
"Our latest position in the rankings is not good enough but if we are
to be honest the year 2014 was not a good one for the Super Eagles,"
he said.
Germany, Argentina, Colombia, Belgium and the Netherlands are the top
five countries, in that order, in the latest rankings.
