France claims #1 ranking in FIFA Rankings update; India ranked 96th, Pakistan ranked 201st

Why is Pakistan even playing football is beyond me :facepalm: I mean I would rather opt out from this sport altogether, build proper foundations, get that guy (who's been running the Pakistan Football Association) thrown outt and then reenter it around half a decade later to at least have a chance in advancing in this sport.

We are not getting anywhere with the resources and the infrastructure we have at the moment.

FIFA will not let that happen.

So thousands of players passionate about the sport should give up just to save you the embarrassment? You can build proper foundations despite them playing, that's not a hurdle at all
 
We should ban cricket and promote more football. This way we would have a better chance of representing us in front of a much more global audience.
 
India should ban football.

Channel all the funds into other sports where we have a chance. Cricket already has more than enough money and we are the game's boss, so why not tennis? Or bring back the Formula 1?
 
Wasn't Pakistan banned for like the last two years by FIFA. I think they had their first international game in quite some time yesterday.
 
Fifa rankinga are a joke, in the ELO rankings Pakistan and India are pretty close.
 
Pakistan's rankings are such because they haven't played an international match in 3+ years
 
India should ban football.

Some good results, and the Argentina win came playing most of the match with 10 players. I think Argentina had rested couple of their key players for the match, but still an incredible result.

yeah , obviously we are no where close to Argentina in-spite of this win , but you can see major improvements in results . we used to be at par with likes of Jordan , Bahrain whom we beat comfortably and get trashed by Japan/Iran/Korea and now we can beat them on a good day .

10 years back our youngsters hardly got an opportunity to play top teams in Asia let alone the world, thats made a big difference lately . Next month we play in a 4 nation tournament involving France and Croatia , we may get trashed but the exposure is matters . Our national team may get intimidated playing big teams , but not these kids . I wont be surprised if we break into top 75 in 3-5 years time .

We have Asia Cup in January Next year. That will give a proper understanding of who stands where in Asia.

India isn't in the Top 10 teams in Asia for now.

No we are not , probably ~12 . I dont have much hopes there , I think we will compete well but its the next gen team is what am banking on . Unlike the current national team which has 2-3 good player , the next set are a decent bunch overall
 
Only a matter of time before India hosts a world cup in Football as well. Expect India to progress further to compete with the likes of Saudi, Iran and etc.
