But it's only four plac... Sorry, I see what you mean now

once we beat Czech Rep and Slovakia we'll be near the top 20! At this point I probably wake up from my dream state.

Latest FIFA rankings released and we remain in 34th position. Russia are down five places to 18th and Slovakia down five to 27th.

FIFA don't seem to be recording NI's rank anymore .......

**Charlie Darwin** · 13/04/2011, 10:53 AM

Down to 65th from 40th. Ouch.

They're on page 2 in 65th. That seems like a huge drop?

**BonnieShels** · 13/04/2011, 10:55 AM

Nice bump.

Will we ever see,
Again,
The heights of ninety-three?

Montenegro's graph has risen as fast as our national debt.

**Charlie Darwin** · 13/04/2011, 10:56 AM

I think it's because some of NI's good results from the last Euro campaign have been wiped off, i.e. the win over Spain.

**Crosby87** · 13/04/2011, 11:45 AM

If you had to say what Irelands rank truly is, roughly, what would it be?

**paul_oshea** · 13/04/2011, 12:01 PM

Pretty.

**Charlie Darwin** · 13/04/2011, 1:02 PM

34th would be about right, wouldn't it? We were one of 5 times that fell at the play-off stage to qualify for the 32-team World Cup.

**SwanVsDalton** · 13/04/2011, 1:12 PM

The rankings can be flawed, but think they have us about right too. We can't expect to really break the top 20 or 25 until we win some big games.

**The Legend** · 14/04/2011, 5:53 PM

hmm looks like Libya can take Scotland and N.Ireland... cool!

**DannyInvincible** · 14/04/2011, 6:11 PM

The Éamon Zayed effect, clearly.

**Cuyahoga** · 24/08/2011, 11:24 AM

Ireland are now 31st , The six counties are 59th.

**shakermaker1982** · 24/08/2011, 11:40 AM

Holland above Spain? I know Spain lost in a meaningless friendly but you'd think WC win might have more sway....

**Charlie Darwin** · 24/08/2011, 2:54 PM

Well Holland got to the final of the World Cup - there wouldn't be a huge difference in their points gain from the tournament. Both teams only have one or two losses in the past 2-3 years so they'd never be that far off one another.
