According to the monthly ranking of the world soccer governing body, Brazil is number one, with 1,840.77 points, followed by the national team with 1,838.38. In third place was France with 1,823.39.

The Argentine national team, who has just been crowned world champion in Qatar 2022, came second in the ranking that FIFA makes monthly, below Brazil, with a difference of 2.39 points in favor of the five-time champions, as reported this Friday by the maximum world soccer body.
Brazil is number one, with 1,840.77 points, Argentina follows with 1,838.38 and France is third with 1,823.39. 

Having managed to reach the semifinals of Qatar, Croatia moved up five places and is seventh, while the surprising team from Morocco, also eliminated by France in the semifinals, rose 11 places and was eleventh. 

Two other teams significantly improved their position and they were Australia (eliminated by Argentina in the round of 16) that is 27th. after climbing 11 places and Cameroon, who beat Brazil in the group stage, moving up 10 places and ranking 33rd. 

Incredible, but real: the Scratch, which reached the World Cup as the leader of the table of countries, could not replicate it in the World Cup, a competition from which it said goodbye in the quarterfinals against Croatia after falling in the definition by penalties.

Despite the harsh setback it received, the verdeamarela remained at the top of the ranking, thus relegating the Argentine National Team, world champion, to second position and opening the way to controversy.

The classification between the two South American teams was undoubtedly with a very narrow margin -less than three points- and FIFA reported that if the "Scaloneta" had beaten France in the final in regulation time or in extra time, it would be the albiceleste those who would take first place.

For its part, France, which reached the World Cup as champion and again reached the final, managed to rise to third place and got on the podium.

In terms of promotions, Morocco, the great surprise of Qatar 2022 by achieving fourth place, is in eleventh place in the standings after its outstanding performance in the competition, in which it finished first in its area and subsequently eliminated to Spain and Portugal on their way to the semi-finals.

On the other hand, the main drop in terms of positions is from Canada, with 12, who left Qatar 2022 without scoring points, scoring two goals and conceding seven. In points, Denmark, also after signing a disappointing World Cup with a draw and two losses.

The Danish side lost their place in the top ten, falling to 18th position, and it is Croatia that broke into the top 10 after their third place finish at the World Cup and now sits in seventh position.

FIFA implemented the ranking of teams in December 1992 and since then the leader in the previous one has never managed to win the World Cup. The first World Cup played later was the United States 1994. Germany came first, but lost in the quarterfinals with Bulgaria and the champion was Brazil.

In addition, the Germans were also victims in Russia 2018, since they had just been champions in 2014 but were left out in the group stage of the tournament that France ended up winning. Spain in 2014 was also eliminated in the first phase, as was France in 2002, although the one that suffered the most was Brazil, four times.
