NIGERIA SHINES IN NEW FIFA RANKINGS

Nigeria rise to 34th on Fifa ranking after World Cup performance

Hmmm, Nigeria has moved ten places upwards in the latest FIFA ranking, making the Super Eagles No 3 in Africa and No 34 in the world. The Eagles occupied the 44th position before the Brazil 2014 world cup. 
Nigeria is not the only country that has moved up the board, Germany ranks No 1 after defeating Argentina in the World cup finals, making the south American Country No 2. Meanwhile Netherlands moved 12 places upwards ranking No 3 in the world. 

In Africa Algeria and Cote d'Ivoir ranked 24th and 25th respectively making then No 1 & 2 in Africa.

Other countries like Ghana dropped one place to finish in 38th place and fifth in Africa with Egypt holding onto the 36th. while Belgium (5) and Uruguay (6) follows but the world cup hosts Brazil dropped four places to finish 7th after a tragic end. England also dropped ten places to finish in 20th place after their first round elimination.
