Iran will no longer be the #1 ranked AFC nation in the next FIFA rankings

[sarbaz]

It doesn’t matter for now

After the WC we will be #1 again in Asia

I promise you

Fifa rankings really don't matter for us until 3-4 years from now when they draw the groups for Qatar 2022. Plus we're ranked first in Asia, and we still got shafted with our group. So at the end of the day it doesn't matter at all.

Who cares guys
We had it for seven years let the kangroos have it for a month

[Saam]

this really sucks ...
I'm tired of hearing the FIFA ranking doesn't mean anything or etc.... IT FKING CLEARLY DOES on so many fronts in terms of ranking for future tourneys or a whole host of other benefits that comes along with being Ranked Numero Uno..!!

mind you, each TM Loss also has Huge Psychological Negative Effects on our players ....! each loss (Friendly or not) Dampens our players Confidence and Winning mentality and vigor.!! with the tough group we are facing at WC that further dissipates our players belief and confidence in attaining Favorable result at WC..!!

It all began with CQ adapting a more Open and Attacking overall Scheme of play since we wrapped up WCQualifying ...!!
I can only hope, CQ is doing all these shitt early on to fool the WC group coaches ...!!?

No it doesn't. If anything, it makes them strive to improve where their weaknesses are. This is a team of professional footballers, not a high school varsity soccer team. Pretty sure they know the purpose of friendlies after being in professional football for so long.

Also, we will be back on top of the rankings after the World Cup so we will be ok for future tournament seedings.

It's all part of the mind game.
Fifa rankings are only important when we are number 1 anyways

Australia 4-0 over czech republic is a bit hard to believe unless the long travel, the amount alchol consumed the night before by key players forced the coach to send the c team onto the field.

It was Czech Republic ‘s U-23 team

He is really putting all efforts and concentration on beating Morocco. Thats how I interpret it. Against Portugal and Spain we will go back to our “usual” system.
Morocco is particularly dangerous, since they play very defensively and on counters and have a very strong defense too without conceeding for a very long time on their continent, just like us!
Basically the game vs Morocco is our WC’s most important game.

so annoying

Now who says we drop under Australia?!! Don't worry guys. Australia lost heavily against Norway (4-1) a few weeks ago. A very unpredictable and shaky team. It can lose with big margin against Hungary next weekend. But it might be late. Have you guys checked to see that we really lost our a decade rein over Asia right when it mattered ?!!!

Update: Yes I checked unfortunately , it is true. We had 728 points, playing a weak team from Asia and losing to a lower ranked team deducted 20 points from us while Australia currently at 700 (much lower points than us) played smart and played a UEFA team on an away match. Only one match. They did not play two games! That prevented them from a possible drop. They will gain 18 and will have 718 points. All of a sudden from a 28 points difference will have 10 over us ... Unreal .. A big drop and they definitely will go to the world cup as number 1 ranked team in Asia. I do not know if they will have a FIFA Ranking on July 7?!!! I doubt it... Are they going to change the profile on FIFA introducing Iran as no 1 Asian team??!!!

I know France will trash them and they will lose to Hungary next week but damn, the Ranking will be announced before that

BYE TO IRAN no. 1 POSITION .. Shoot

[arasradio]

If we tied the game in Istanbul, we would be still over Australia by 3 points .. DAMN! We should have not chosen Turkey as the stimulation for Plan B. We should have treated it as an official game

[arasradio]

Who cares guys
We had it for seven years let the kangroos have it for a month

i know. But it is bitter to have it for 7 years and now few days before the world cup; when all those reporters in UK and USA; specially fox news and all those annoying media; will call Aussies as the best in Asia... I know we will be back again at top but when all cameras are off the world cup again! It happens all the time

Now, we really need to play good in the WC to make up for this drop

And damn that Greece game mattered a lot as we would have beaten them in Istanbul. Those bastards hurt us big time. We should not temporarily seize our relationship with their federation, but cancel it permanently.

Barely anyone here in the US cares enough about soccer or the World Cup. At present we are indulged in Major League Baseball, as well as the NBA and NHL finals. Even NASCAR gets more attention.

Yes but annoying UK reporters in BT sports and believe me when the fever is on ESPN, TSN and Fox Sports too. And they love to put a common wealth country at top and rub it against everyone face Damn ...

All of all teams has to be annoying Aussies that barely made it through the playoff . A team that recently lost 4-1 to Norway. What was this Czech team! Aren't you guys sure it was not their Paralympic team???!! This will be their heaviest loss lol.. Not against Brazil But Australia??!! Sounds like a jing jing jing $$$$$ send us up there; I pay you kind of thing. Who can believe Czech losing to an average Asian team 4-0 in Prague?!!!! ....Damn
