Latest FIFA ranking India: 100 Lebanon : 102 Only a difference of 4 points. Whoever lose the SAFF Semi Final will lose points as well as Pot2 spot for Asian WCQ.
Yesterday in fifa daily ranking I saw India 12 points ahead, suddenly it becomes 4 now? Are points being averaged over no of games? Also official ranking is one that comes out and in that India is above Lebanon. Will not this be taken into account unless new ranking is released?
to answer your next question. Next Fifa ranking release date is on July 20th and AFC WCQ draw will take place on July 27th. Hence July 20th FIFA rankings will be considered.
It looks like FiFA did not consider Indias win against Lebanon, where we got max points. Because on FIFA match days they consider max 2 matches and we already played against Vanatau and Lebanon once

FootyRankings confirmed that there's only a difference of 0.98 points as of now. Everything comes down to this match.
ok. have still confusion regarding rankings now. kuwait is 143. so if we lose, then what? its first time that i have concern of ranking rather than winning the trophy.
If we lose by penalties, it is ok. Else we will be kichidi 😎 by dropping to pot3. We may get teams like Japan/Iran from Pot1, Uzbekistan from Pot2 & if it is worse, we end-up getting Indonesia/Yemen/Singapore from Pot4.
We are playing good and I'm hoping we will win the match in regulation time.
Gone are the days when you can win matches against lesser opponents , play a lot of matches and improve ypur rankings significantly. Otherwise based on June itself India would have been ranked in the 80s. If you want to improve now, simply you will have to defeat opponent higher ranked than you and also more so in fifa windows only or major tournaments
