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.

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.
