ood movement. Though I do not believe all that FIFA anking as being representative of the standard of football teams. I know its empirical but a lot of times they are so wide off the mark. Imagine Mali being ranked above Nigeria in football! By jove they have not won anything or beaten us in any competion. Purely ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteBetter believe it sports enthusiast thats how empiricism works.
Deletethe Malian team have been very consistent for the past few years, you don't expect Nigeria to just go top of the ranking because we just won the AFCON. Dont forget that we didnt even qualify for the previous AFCON
