5 teams that India are ahead of in the FIFA World Rankings

#2 Korea DPR (Current ranking: 112, Avg. ranking: 119)

This is North Korea by the way.

Now, it's not like North Korea have been above India in the rankings, in fact, they are currently better than what their average position has been.

But this was intriguing because North Korea featured in the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. Unfortunately for them, they were in a group that had Brazil, Portugal and Cote d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast) which left them with no chance of making it through to the knockout stages.

In the decade post that World Cup appearance though, the team has failed to kick on and India can now say that they have a better team.
