The slide continues. After playing and losing to 5 of the top 11 teams in the world (Greece 11th......) in a calendar year, it looks like we'll finish the year in 44th. Deservedly.

Utter ****e; a 'pants down' icon might be more apt!
Now now, Gabon are an up and coming side. No shame in that.

Not as bad as first feared; we end the year ranked 42nd...

Ireland have fallen to 42nd position in the December Fifa ranking, their lowest position since 2006.
The Boys in Green suffered defeat in the recent friendly against Greece at the Aviva Stadium and the subsequent ranking release has confirmed the six-position drop from November's 36th place.
Giovanni Trapatoni's side have fallen a massive 19 places since January and now find themselves behind Egypt and Haiti, alongside Bolivia and Gabon on 609 ranking points.
How long until Trap arrives to tell us that rankings are irrelevant?
Honestly, how could we be behind Haiti? They dont even have....an eco system anymore. They cut all the trees down to sell the lumber and all the animals died. Im serious.
No Somos muchos pero estamos locos.
They also draw players from the League of Ireland: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal_Millien
Being fair to us and Haiti, they haven't played Spain, Italy & Germany in 2012...
They have played the US, however, a soccer roster with great hustle and a number of MVPs.
gaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
Not to mention its awesome 11-4-3 compilation stretching back to 10/08, 2011.

Didn't the US lose to someone 'crap' recently though?
And I think, considerably worse than Haiti...
In reverse chronological order, they've lost to Jamaica, Brazil, France, Ecuador, Belgium and Costa Rica since the beginning of September, 2011.
Brazil are 18th! Surely they've never been as low that before?
And this in spite of their exhibition victory over the all-star US roster.
