i think the FIFA ranking are a joke. we tie and loose to 2 top 10 teams in the world cup and we go up like 2 spots. but if we beat the whole asia that is ranked below us, we move up? lol

I think the FIFA rankings are probably the best they have been. They've taken care to try and make this as true to life, as well as real time as possible. SK beat Germany in WC and they are still lower than us, but that's because we tie or win most games we play. Obviously winning a continental cup is only second to winning the WC, so our ranking should/would go up that much.

We aren't the best Asian team anymore in the ELO rankings. What about the FIFA rankings?

True ranking ! japan is better than us! even though they are not at their best level at this stage but they are still better than us

[Ejdeha]

I dont think japan can pass us in fifa even if they win the final and if they lose by 2 goals they will be below us in elo too.

Rankings are overrated at the end of the day.

Still quite impressive for a nation that lost the Asian Cup semi-finals, which again, speaks volumes of TM's rise over the last 8 years. Even the Asian Cup winner and runner up are still ranked behind Iran due to TM's past achievements. Thank you TM and CQ, you made us proud.

Iran is ranked 33 with new rankings for this month.
