September 17, 2005 Northern Ireland's star rising fast In football at any rate, rising faster up the rankings than any other team. Thanks to back-to-back wins over Azerbaijan and England, Northern Ireland are now 101st in September's FIFA world rankings, up a massive 15 places on a month ago. FIFA also calls the victory over England one of the shocks of the century. If Holland are the second best team in the world (after beating Andorra and Armenia) then my arse plays the banjo. Posted by: Tim at September 17, 2005 03:43 PM This classic from ourweecountry really deserves a wider audience. http://www.slipcast.co.uk/kleenex.swf Posted by: iluvni at September 17, 2005 03:59 PM Oh da da da daaa! Remember the boys of sum-mmer are ll gone!!! Nanananananan bananaman! We beat the england we dit! we beat the ebgland we did! Posted by: Ziznivy at September 18, 2005 01:57 AM Dawson, is that you? Posted by: Cahal at September 18, 2005 06:25 AM I see your disgusting comment has been removed ziznivy. Posted by: Cahal at September 18, 2005 03:33 PM Being ranked 101 in the world, well done lads... I believe that places us somewhere between 'Burkina Faso' and 'Gabon'. Yeah I don't know where they are either... Posted by: Whitey at September 18, 2005 04:59 PM FIFA rankings are a bit of a joke. USA better than Germany? Mexico better than Italy? Posted by: Ricardo at September 18, 2005 05:53 PM And what's wrong with Burkina Faso? It's a lovely place. Good footballers, too. Shock of the century, well, this century is only 5 years old, so I suppose the win does qualify. Posted by: 6countyprod at September 18, 2005 11:09 PM Congratulations to the north in their rise, but the fifa rankings are very unfair and seem to favour certain confederations especially the concacaf. Posted by: David at September 19, 2005 01:08 AM Well done NI Bring on Wales!!! Posted by: Antrim Springfarm at September 19, 2005 01:42 PM |
