Ughh, we aren't doing to good here. It's amazing how we were breaking the top 20 teams less then 10 years ago, and now we are the last place team in SA. 97th place is horrible. Beating South Africa in their stadium bearly did anything in the standings. I just can't believe that Kuwait, Cuba, Iran and Iraq are placed higher then us.
what do you expect..... we hardly play friendlies, and when we are in competitions we dont do well. All I want is for Bolivia to make it to the second round of Copa America.
actually Iran has a decent team and usually fair well in their conference. Bolivia should easily be a 50th-75th place team.
after looking at the ranking closely its not that bad.. we did gain 32 points and a couple of spots. We just need to start winning in competitions that matter.
true...your federation needs to get some friendlies in asap... even if with some central american teams, ala Honduras, CR, T & T...would be good competition.
yes but thats where the problem is. Friendlies (if your not a top dog like Brasil or Argentina) cost a whole bunch of money. I believe there was even an article that because of Bolivias win against South Africa our federation actully lost money in Bonuses given to players for the win... isnt that some messed up shiet.
well then, have MR Chavez step in and help you guys out as he's been doing... Form a special Ven-Bolivia derby...
FIFA rankings are a joke. They don't mean a thing. Play well in Copa America, form a cohesive team and then go all out in World Cup qualifiers. That's the only thing that matters.
