Germany back atop FIFA rankings after Confed win

GERMANY leapfrogged Brazil and Argentina to move back atop the FIFA rankings released on Wednesday thanks to the team winning the Confederations Cup last week.

The world champion beat Chile 1-0 at the Russia-based tournament a year out from the 2018 World Cup to ensure a first return to the top of the rankings in more than two years. Brazil falls to second and Argentina third, just ahead of European champion Portugal. Iran leads Asia at No. 23, one ahead of Africa’s best, Egypt, which drops four.
