It will be good to be the underdog going into this tournament. Even though, we are 4th in the continent, I can still see the pressure pilling on the other nations as their own players labeling us as one of the best in the continent. Though, we are 4th, we are being seen as the best. It is good to hear that. At least, it would put fear in them.

FIFA ranking does not always tell the true picture hence people have no faith in them. England who had not won anything for the past 40 years is always in the ten top teams.

Hey Watchman: Your point is well taken. Iagreewith you as I don't understand how the "ranking" is done.

Yes, we were in the quarter finals in the WC but have how long was it now? A quarter finalist in the WC but we sat for two nations who were below the ranks of 30 in the fifa chart, beat us. When a lower ranked nation defeats you, you according to the calculations, it even brings you down the ranking than a higher nation defeating. The clubs we defeated to qualified to the AFCON, were ranking in the between 50s and 70s. That doesn't give us that much of points to climb up. Besides, in our Configuration, the national teams are rated very low, and it shows when we meet the European national teams.

Apart from we beating Serbia in a real competitive tournament, how many African nations are able to do that lately? When Nigeria was beating these teams too, they were ranked higher in the teens. That is how it is.

Probably they deduct some points for dancing on soccer pitch , so advice your players to be serious on the pitch and stop dancing.
