Iran and Romania drop 6 and 8 spots respectively in November 2019, the most among top 50 teams. https://www.fifa.com/fifa-world-rank...ing-table/men/

Germany is sitting at 15th, USA 22 and Belgium is at number 1.

we will lose a lot of spots during 2019. Basically almots no points gained at all will crusch our ranking. Iran has to stay top 4 in rankings in asia or they might suffer badly in coming draws

Most recent = 33. Nowhere near the 1995 rank. See a line graph on https://www.fifa.com/fifa-world-rank...ation/irn/men/

Based on what? I don't think any country has been playing in the past few months.
Edit: I guess it's based on eliminating the oldest few months.
