    FIFA Rankings: Brazil ahead of World Cup 2022 winners Argentina

    FIFA Rankings: Brazil ahead of World Cup 2022 winners Argentina

    FIFA Rankings: Brazil ahead of World Cup 2022 winners Argentina
    World Cup winners Argentina are placed second

    Brazil are at the top of the latest FIFA Rankings, despite bowing out of the 2022 World Cup in the quarter-finals stage. Meanwhile, World Cup winners Argentina are placed second. Argentina won four games, lost one to Saudi Arabia, and were twice victorious on penalties, including the final versus France on Sunday. France, Belgium, and England follow suit. Here's more.

    Why does this story matter?

    • As per ESPN, Argentina couldn't dispose of Brazil at the top because penalty shoot-out successes are worth far fewer ranking points than regulation-time wins.
    • If either Argentina or France would have won in regulation time, they could have displaced Brazil.
    • Both Argentina and France have gained one place each to move up. Notably, Argentina had earlier beaten Brazil in the Copa America final.

    Argentina won the FIFA World Cup 2022

    The best FIFA World Cup final in the history of the game was decided by penalties as Argentina prevailed over France. The final of the 2022 edition between Argentina and France saw the latter make a comeback on two occasions as the match finished 3-3 at extra time. Lionel Messi scored a brace as Kylian Mbappe scored a hat-trick. Argentina won 4-2 on penalties.

Portugal remain ninth, with Spain dropping down three places to 10th. Belgium slid down two places to fourth after failing to progress from the group stage.
