New Fifa Ranking (April) top 10 17 Japan 22 Iran 30 Korea Republic 34 Saudi Arabia 44 Australia 52 Iraq 54 Bahrain 59 Uzbekistan 66 China PR 73 Kuwait finally we are back to top 5 again... top 6
I think they'll go close to it, at least 11 games before the years out, 6 which we should definetely win, the other 5 will be worth plenty of rankings points being against big nations (greece, holland) and 3 WC games. Bahrain won't be back in the asian top 6 anytime soon i feel, they'll be lucky to make the asian cup, and i rate iraq and uzbekistan better teams
I agree that both Iraq and Uzbakistan are better teams than Bahrain. Bahrain plays an anti-football kinda game, and their players lack sportsmanship and have no honor for the game.
Palestine up another 6 slots to 115... highest ranking ever I do believe, they are now a top 20 side in Asia.
