FIFA World Rankings: Macedonia moves up 5 places

FIFAMacedonia moved up 5 places on FIFA/Coca-Cola latest world ranking list and is now on the 73rd place.

Although the period since the last rankings was gameless, Macedonia gained 22 points thanks to the fact the some negative points from the past were erased. Now the Macedonian national team lies at the 73rd place which still makes it among the worst in Europe, but knowing that last summer it was around the 100th place, at least the progress is visible.
