Who cares. The result is what matters. With time we shall go up. The rankings need to take a back-seat. We need to focus on qualification to the 2015 AFC Asian Cup.
@arsenalkid ; I CARE about fifa rankings......even if they are shit , they are hampering indian talent to play in europe due to work permit issues..... to be ranked 170 in the world is a matter of SHAME and HUMILIATION for my nation....... to be a laughing stock in world football is REALLY VERY SAD..... we should be in 120s...... good nations reject playing friendlies against us due to our rankings , THATS WHY I BLOODY CARE.....
Teams like Yemen, Singapore, and even Zambia said yes to playing against us despite our ranking. It does not matter. And I am not saying that they dont mean anything and that they should never be noticed... NEVER would I say that but what I am saying is that for now we should suck it up and stop whining when we go down in rankings for now because we are starting a new chapter and are slowly building. The goal should be the win the 2014 AFC Challenge Cup and qualify for the 2015 AFC Asian Cup. If we do that then the higher ranking will come with it.
We will go up fast but not now. We need to suck it up and hope that we achieve our short term goals which is again, win the AFC Challenge Cup and qualify for the AFC Asian Cup in 2015 and then the ranking will come.

By next year I hope the middle 6 changes to 4 :P
@shankar & @ashindia ; surely obtainable provided a lot of stuff falls inplace.. will be a dream come true for IFN members
Surely with the current youth coming up we can be back at 130 by 2015.
playing is our duty...we are moving on slow pace..busy year,big challenges...let the non playing nations on a single matchday be suspended
