preetam

It has been confirmed that India will play against 164th ranked Bangladesh....this fixture is listed in FIFA website ....

Currently India are having 149 points

this result will affect india rating in this manner:

win - 147 points

draw - 138 points

loss - 133 points...

so even if we win we will loose 2pts in march ranking.....

I was joking around... you said Indian... as in like the billion Indians in the world, not Indian football fans.

But seriously, these players can talk about rankings all they want, the point is that we have this over obsession with rankings that we care so much of how we will change slightly in one month.

I only care about them when they matter, like in World Cup draws and stuff like that and even then they dont matter till we get closer to 100 than 150.

India will be under 100 at the end of the year

Frankly, no one cares about the ranking, they are just pretending to care and as if we would break into the top 100 in the next 24 months. Better to think about the games than ranking. You win games then automatically you go to a better rank.

The match would be a close one, I am not expecting India to trash them by more than 3 goals margin but India will win because they are playing at home. It would be a different story had they played in Bangladesh.
