Brazil is the number 1 in FIFA rankings

Seleção knocks down Spain to second place. Portugal is in third.

The seleção commanded for Dunga comes back to the top after five months occupying the second position, Brazil outs Spain and assumed the top of Fifa’s ranking, in the new classification announced this Wednesday. Seleção Brasileira (name used for Brazil Soccer Team) assumes the top for the seventh time since the ranking was created, in 1993. Since then, the country remained on top for 142 months in the total.

Based on the rankings, the group G  will be the strongest of the World of the World. Besides the leader, Brazil, the group counts on Portugal, that went up a position and now it is right behind Spain, in third, its better rank in history.

On the other hand, the Coreia of the north, Brazil’s adversary in the first game , is worse between all the teams that will dispute the World Cup , in 106ª position. The Ivory Coast, that complete the group, is in 27º place.

Between the ten first ones in Fifa’s ranking, the biggest advance was of Argentina, that jump from ninth to seventh position. France suffered the biggest fall, falling from eighth for tenth.

The April’s edition of the ranking only took in account five games, since not many official Fifa games happened and the national and international matches of the Europe are in its playoffs, what it make harder to schedule games between national teams.

   There is no doubt Brazil is number one at the moment and no country has ever produced so many talented players ever. I can understand why France has gone down as they don’t have any start player right now. Henry’s hey days are in the past it seems. May be Arsenal did a good deal and took out the best money possible from him. Nice post though, thanks. It is now only a few days left. Lets hope Brazil does well. Otherwise we have to see Maradon running around
