T oday's strength-testing match of Nigeria and Burkina Faso may have
greater significance than hitherto anticipated.
Both teams need good results to enhance their positions when this month's FIFA ranking will be released on Thursday. Top five teams among the 10 African teams that had moved to the final qualifying stage of the World Cup would be seeded based on the ranking that would be released on Thursday. Based on recent matches, even Cape Verde, which entered the
World Cup only for the fourth time since the debut entry of 2002 had caused the biggest upset so far. Besides knocking out on home ground, one of the powerhouses of African football, Tunisia, they had also overtaken Nigeria on the ranking. As after the weekend World Cup matches, Nigeria's possible points moved slightly from 700 points to 709. But that of Cape Verde jumped astronomically from 696 to 739 points, pushing the African rave of the moment team up from sixth position ...

Cape Verde upstages Nigeria in FIFA ranking? Do you belief this, what did Cape Verde play? Fifa needs to recheck the system of ranking.
