    What a dumb title. Sweden dropped for losing games, not because they failed to qualify which is also a consequence of losing games.

      Well, the point of the title was to show that on top of not being able to qualify they also went down in ranking. I see it as, if they qualified they wouldn’t have gone down because indirectly, you qualify if you win enough games. Didn’t mean it as; they went down solely because of not qualiying. Maybe the title leaves something to be desired, my bad in that case.
      “Sweden drop three positions to 26th in the FIFA rankings, in addition to not qualifying for the Euros.” Better?
