Germany Leads New FIFA World Rankings; Nigeria Up 10 Spots by ALKARULEZ615(m): 4:37am On Jul 26, 2014 |
Germany have risen to the top of the FIFA World Rankings after a successful World Cup campaign in Brazil. Argentina‘s 2nd place at the tourney was enough to push them up 3 spots up to 2nd, and Louis van Gaal‘s Holland went up an amazing 12 spots to complete the top 3. All of the teams that exited the World Cup in the quarter-finals have climbed up the ranking: Colombia (fourth, up four), Belgium (fifth, up six), France (tenth, up seven) and Costa Rica (16th, up 12 – the Ticos’ highest-ever ranking). Former champions Spain have fallen from the top spot to eighth place, while Portugal (11th, down seven), Italy (14th, down five) and England (20th, down ten) have all dropped out of the top ten following their first-round exits. World Cup hosts Brazil, meanwhile, have dropped four places to seventh position. Nigeria‘s round 0f 16 finish catapulted them to 34th place, up from their previous place of 44th. |

kultimate009: 32 teams played in the world cup and they ranked Nigeria 34? I thought the best 32 teams in the world competed @ d finals....Spain didn't qualify for last 16 so Spain should drop out of top 16 in FIFA ranking? When will people understand dat the ranking is done based on results obtained over the last 4yrs and nt jst one tournament. |
