FIFA World Rankings July 2006

After World Cup 2006 Brazil remain top, followed by Italy, Argentina and France. England rise to 5th with Portugal in 8th.

1 Brazil
2 Italy
3 Argentina
4 France
5 England
6 The Netherlands
7 Spain
8 Portugal
9 Germany
10 Czech Republic

11 Nigeria
11 Cameroon
13 Switzerland
14 Uruguay
15 Ukraine
16 USA
17 Denmark
18 Mexico
19 Paraguay
20 Côte d'Ivoire

I tend to agree with this ranking and think that Brazil is, overall, a better team than Italy; yet, they lost to France and maybe would loose to Italy too, because the Brazil we saw in the World Cup lacked the determination required to win.
