With the 2010 World Cup just wrapping up last weekend, FIFA weighed in today with its latest rankings: 1) Spain, 2) Netherlands, 3) Brazil, 4) Germany and 5) Argentina.
The US moved up one spot to 13th, the highest position for them since October 2009 when they were 11th.
The rest of the top 10: 6) Uruguay, 7) England, 8) Portugal, 9) Egypt and 10) Chile. Ironically, most said the Egyptians were the best African team but they failed to qualify for South Africa.
Chile rose eight places. New Zealand made the biggest jump, climbing 24 spots to 54th.
Italy, the 2006 World Cup champion, dropped six places to 11th and France fell 12 spots to 21st. Both were eliminated in the first round.
