World Cup 2010 Blog: FIFA World Rankings – October 2010

FIFA World Rankings – October 2010 Posted: 20 Oct 2010 04:50 PM PDT Welcome to our monthly edition of Let’s Talk About Montenegro. After hovering somewhere between 64 and 75 for six months (110th in June of ‘09), they’ve just continued to rocket up the FIFA table: 73rd in August, 40th in September, with a landing spot of 26th this month. That’s right, this tiny Balkan country of 672,000, the 164th most populous country in the world, is the 26th best football team according to FIFA. Whether or not they got style points for Mirko Vucinic’s pantless celebration…well, let’s just assume they did. Anyone looking for Cinderella’s glass slipper should head to southeastern Europe. The other big winner from Europe is Russia, making it a splendid month for Eastern Europe – fifteen spots reclaimed for Dick “How Much Did You Say?” Advocaat and his World Cup 2018 hopeful friends. Guinea, meanwhile, earn the award for highest climb up the table. Thirty four places, which means they probably dropped a 34-0 loss from their rankings tabulation.
