    It's kind of hard to out do Denmark (away to Malta, home against Albania) or Switzerland (home and away against Moldova). You have more chances to out do Serbia (away to Romania) and Israel (home and away against Greece).

    Don't you know, Burkina Faso are meant to be the next big thing in African football.

    Yes they are indeed. They've made great progress this time around and are being touted as a possible surprise package, like Togo and Angola in 2006. They topped their group with Tunisia to qualify for the last phase and might just knock out Cote D' Ivoire.
    They would be one of the coolest named countrys to play in a World Cup!

    Burkina Faso 2-1 England.

    You'll drop 12 places if you draw Bulgaria at home and lose away to Italy. That's how the probable ranking is computed.

    You'd have 947 points as you can see in the FIFA Ranking preview and you could climb to 11th place.

    6th in Aug 1993 - in the very first edition of the FIFA ranking.

    The last time you've graced the top 10 was in May 1995. Last top 20 presence in August 2005 (14th).

    6th in August 1993!

    We'd a few great wins in '94 as well - Holland, Germany and Italy.

    Granted the Dutch and German games were pre-World Cup friendlies.

    Defeats to Mexico and Czech Rep tarnish the 94 record to a certain degree.

    You would think we would get a boost after Italy but I guess Bulgaria was not great,
    I expect a lot depends on which result drops out of the calculation?
    If a bad result drops out we move up, if a good result drops out we move down.
