GISTMORE.COM Football governing body, FIFA, have announced the 2018 World Cup champions, France as the new leader at the top of the latest FIFA rankings, while the previously top-ranked nation Germany, as well as Argentina, dropped out of the top 10. The top five on the list consists of France, Belgium, Brazil, Croatia and Uruguay. The top-ranked African team on the list is Tunisia tying the position with Senegal who both are 24th on the world stage. Nigeria ranks 49th in the world and 7th in Africa. According to FIFA, the new formula: “relies on adding/subtracting points won or lost for a game to/from the previous point totals rather than averaging game points over a given time period as in the previous version of the Ranking “The changes, of which there are several, include the fact that inactive teams now preserve their point totals, with no devaluation of older games. “Points are dropped, however, from losing or drawing against weaker opposition, with the only exception to this rule matches in knockout rounds of major competitions such as the FIFA World Cup.” Here are the top 50 on FIFA World Rankings 1 France 2 Belgium 3 Brazil 4 Croatia 5 Uruguay 6 England 7 Portugal 8 Switzerland 9 Spain 9 Denmark 11 Argentina 12 Chile 13 Sweden 14 Colombia 15 Germany 16 Mexico 17 Netherlands 18 Poland 19 Wales 20 Peru 21 Italy 22 USA 23 Austria 24 Tunisia 24 Senegal 26 Slovakia 27 Northern Ireland 28 Romania 29 Republic of Ireland 30 Paraguay 31 Venezuela 32 Costa Rica 32 Iran 32 Iceland 35 Ukraine 36 Serbia 37 Congo DR 38 Turkey 39 Bosnia and Herzegovina 40 Scotland 41 Montenegro 42 Greece 43 Australia 44 Czech Republic 45 Ghana 46 Morocco 47 Bulgaria 47 Cameroon 48.
