Northern Ireland above Republic
Northern Ireland have overtaken the Republic of Ireland in the Fifa rankings for the first time.
After beating Latvia in their most recent Euro 2008 qualifier, Northern Ireland have risen 13 places to 45 while the Republic slip to 49. It is Northern Ireland's highest ranking since 1995 and the Republic's lowest for eight years. Steve Staunton's Republic suffered a 5-2 defeat in Cyprus before holding the Czech Republic to a draw at home. Under Sanchez, Northern Ireland have risen from 124th place in the rankings.

This just shows what an excellent job Lawrie Sanchez has done with NI, it wasn't that long ago they found it impossible to score a goal.
