The "Staunton Surge" continues - up two places!
it's a sad day for irish football when Scotland are 14 places ahead of us
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.

You'll NEVER beat the Irish.......you'll just draw with us instead!!!
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 .......
Down to 65th from 40th. Ouch.
Nice bump.
Will we ever see,
Again,
The heights of ninety-three?
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
Montenegro's graph has risen as fast as our national debt.
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.
If you had to say what Irelands rank truly is, roughly, what would it be?

Pretty.

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.
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.
Ou-est le Centre George Pompidou?
hmm looks like Libya can take Scotland and N.Ireland... cool!

The Éamon Zayed effect, clearly.
Ireland are now 31st , The six counties are 59th.
Holland above Spain? I know Spain lost in a meaningless friendly but you'd think WC win might have more sway....

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.
We just seem stuck on 31.
