NZ FIFA Ranking
I am sure EP said that friendlies don't count.
Sorry---- EG
They do, but like Marius said, just not worth as many points as competition games.
Sorry, posted in the wrong thread...up to #49th

Holy crap, the same band of (Nigerian?) shysters who organised the Fake Togo team have now organised a Fake All Whites squad to tour Korea!!! They should have known something was wrong when "Rory Fallon" pulled out his prayer rug and bowed to Mecca.
Onwards and upwards.
And France.
And France.
We did really well leading up to the 1999 Confeds cup and also the subsequent confeds cup qualification, all those points in the warm up friendlies carried through all the way to 2002. I forget the formula but it was bizarre, your results over a 4 year period counted. Its since been changed.
I say we set our sights higher than Australia, but perhaps not as high as France yet.
Um, Australia are ahead of France mate.

A mere blip.
it doesnt really work like that. any draw or win is worth points. a win is worth three times a draw. But a draw with Para would not be worth that much more than a draw with Honduras (bc the multiplier is something like 200 minus opposition ranking). but probably need a win in one of these games to mave much upward progress, but our score is also an weighted average over several years as i understand.
i thought we were 49 and they are 46?
Noobs.

Humble apologies, I was foolish enough to trust radio sport as a source

All of them. Did you not get the memo about the new FIFA rule where if you miss a penalty you drop 50 million places?
So if your pants fell down in the process of scoring a penalty?
So if your pants fell down in the process of scoring a penalty?
Then you end up 50 million places above the entire world.
At least until someone else scores a pantsless penalty.
Obviously.
Down 2 places to 51st in latest rankings, one ahead of South Africa. Above Scotland who drop 10 places to 57th.
Guinea up 34 places to 47th - who did they beat?
