FIFA releases latest world football rankings

After the World Cup in Qatar , FIFA released the latest world football rankings. What is surprising is that Argentina, the current World Cup champion, is not No. 1, but No. 2.


Before that, Argentina was ranked third, but this time it rose to second after winning the championship. As for the first place is Brazil, which has won the most World Cup championships. It has won 5 championships, winning the World Cup in 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994 and 2002 respectively.


According to FIFA 's rules, if Argentina wins the World Cup final in Qatar within 120 minutes, the points gained will make Argentina No. 1 in the world. However, Argentina won the penalty shootout, and there were not so many points. As a result, Argentina could not surpass Brazil to take the first place in the world.


France, which won the runner-up of this World Cup, has also risen from 4th to 3rd. Belgium, which originally ranked second, performed poorly in the World Cup and dropped to fourth. England remained at 5th, while the Netherlands moved up to 6th. The third runner-up Croatia went directly to the 5th place and went to the 7th place. Italy fell to 8th, Portugal remained at 9th, and Spain dropped 3 places to 10th.


Morocco, the dark horse of this World Cup, was originally ranked 22nd, but this year's performance has risen to 11th. Australia has also risen from 38th to 27th, and the Japanese team's impressive performance this year has also risen 4 places to 20th.
