Movement in the World Rankings!

After a bit more than a year on top of the world, Spain have been replaced! Want to take a guess at who has bumped them? Well, it's not Argentina. Or Brazil. And it isn't France, Germany, or Italy either. Yep, that's right we have a new World leader! The Netherlands is only the 7th team to have sat on top of the World. Spain's recent friendly loss to Italy is the cause of this downgrade while the Dutch picked up 54 points. Germany continue to hold 3rd despite defeating Brazil. Speaking of the Brazilians, they are now down 2 spots into 6th place while England and Uruguay hold 4th and 5th respectively. Italy moved past Portugal to take 7th while the Portuguese are in 8th. Last but not least we have Argentina and Croatia rounding out the Top 10! South America's highest national side is Uruguay (in 5th) while Europe has all of the Top 4 slots. The highest Asian contenders are Japan who occupy 15th while Africa's brightest appear to be the Ivory Coast. Last but not least Mexico are the banner-bearers of Central/North America in 20th place.
