Former Internationals, Mutiu Adepoju and Garba Lawal have reacted differently to the latest ranking by the world football governing body, the Fédération Internationale de Football Association, FIFA, after the just concluded Total Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON hosted by Egypt.
Nigeria accumulated one thousand four hundred and eight one points from one thousand, four hundred and thirty three points in the new rating, to climb up twelve spots to 33rd from 45th in the world. But the country still remains behind Tunisia and Senegal in the Africa’s rating.
Adepoju said that despite the latest evaluation of countries by FIFA in the last one month that the Super Eagles still need to keep on improving on their games to achieve a better result next term.
While also reacting to the ranking by FIFA, Lawal said he did not see how the new rating would change the Eagles, adding that the most important thing is for Nigeria to keep winning games and more trophies. He observed that whether FIFA ranking or not, it does not change thing about the Nigerian football.
