New Fifa World Ranking: Nigeria Remains 47th, Netherlands falls to lowest ranking for over a decade.... So Switzerland and Colombia are in the top 10

Nigeria stayed in 47th spot in the lastest Fifa rankings released on Thursday, a result of their goalless draw with Mexico in last week's international friendly.

The Super Eagles continue to be the seventh ranked team in Africa behind Cote D'Ivoire, Algeria, Egypt, Cape Verde Islands, Ghana and Tunisia. Cameroon are the only World Cup-bound African team that is ranked below the Eagles in eighth place.
