NorthernLights Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 Bhutan have taken an early lead in their home leg against Sri Lanka. Looking good for the lowest ranked nation, I'm assuming this is a title they won't be holding onto for much longer. According to the FIFA ranking tools the two wins over Sri Lanka for Bhutan should be worth 128 ranking points - http://www.fifa.com/fifa-world-ranking/ranking-tools/index.html That points total currently would mean they would be 157th in the world, between Indonesia and Hong Kong.

Mr Bairn Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Just seen on twitter that Sri Lanka have been eliminated from the July 2018 FIFA world cup but are still in the March 2015 cricket world cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nsr Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I assume the fact that Catarrh aren't involved in these matches means they are somehow ranked ahead of all these teams? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernLights Posted March 24, 2015 Author Share Posted March 24, 2015 I assume the fact that Catarrh aren't involved in these matches means they are somehow ranked ahead of all these teams? Qatar were ranked 92nd in the world in January when the seedings were decided. This was good enough to make them the 6th highest ranked team in the AFC. I guess this just shows how weak the AFC still is compared to a lot of the other confederations. The next round of qualifying for the AFC looks complicated. This is mainly due to the fact that the World Cup 2018 qualifiers are doubling up as qualifying for the 2019 Asian Cup. Even the teams who finish bottom of the groups in the second round could progress to the next stage of qualifying for the Asian Cup but obviously their World Cup ambitions would be over. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification_%E2%80%93_AFC_Second_Round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Lanarkshire Jag Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Currently listening to the build up of Curaçao v Montserrat. Quite a surreal listen on the radio station as they have mostly focused on Patrick Kluivert and how he appears to have met every Curaçaon this week!
