The new FIFA rankings are out, and Korea suffered the biggest drop among teams in the top 100 by falling nine spots to 47th place. It has not played a game since losing to Croatia 4-0 on Feb. 6 in England.

However, the team should have a good chance to move up with a pair of home games this month. Korea hosts an exhibition match against Syria on March 22 followed by a World Cup qualifier against Qatar on March 26.
