FIFA World Rankings July 2010 (Can You Guess Who’s Top?)
FIFA has released its first post-World Cup 2010 rankings, and – as you’d expect – there’s been plenty of movement. Nnew top dogs are World Cup 2010 winners Spain, obviously, with losing finalists the Netherlands in second. Former #1 Brazil is now third.
The big big movers are Uruguay, whose run to the World Cup semifinals was worth a jump of 10 places to 6th in the world rankings. Welcome back to the big time Uruguay. Germany’s third place finish saw them jump a couple of places to fourth,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but the real story is the World Cup losers.
Cameroon’s three straight defeats in South Africa resulted in a 21 place plummet to #40. Not what Samuel Eto’o had planned. Similarly, Italy dropped out of top 10, and France fell all the way out of the top 20.
Possibly the strangest mover was Egypt, who didn’t compete at World Cup 2010, but somehow climbed three places to ninth. I’m sure there’s a mathematical reason for this, and I’m sure it has something to do with ranking points gained from winning the 2006, 2008 and 2010 Africa Cup of Nations, but the timing seems a little odd. Maybe Egypt secretly played at World Cup 2010?
