England are now on 12th place according to the latest Fifa rankings a significant improvement from 15th place. This is no doubt because of the relatively good qualifying campaign to Russia the three lions had. England has now gone ahead of teams like Columbia, wales and Mexico on the latest rankings.
While the Top six remained unchanged with the world champions leading the pack followed by Brazil, Portugal, Argentina, Belgium and Poland. While the Netherlands despite not qualifying jumped up into the top 20. A good improvement but the lack of qualification must still hurt the Orange much.
The USA also moved up into 27th after a lackluster qualifying campaign which they performed quite miserably and ended up not qualifying, after being eliminated by the Central America nation( this nation was granted a national holiday to celebrate).
However despite significant movements upward Ecuador fell back spectacularly from 35th position to 60 th position. As for me the showpiece next summer should be won by one of the top four teams on the Fifa rankings. who that will be, will have to wait and see!
