Russia Drops To A Low

HOST Russia will begin next week’s World Cup as the lowest-ranked of the 32 teams participating in the tournament, according to FIFA’s latest world rankings announced yesterday.

Russia, which lost 0-1 to Austria in a friendly last month, slipped four places to 70th in the standings, behind Saudi Arabia at 67th.

The two lowest-ranked teams will kick off the World Cup in Moscow on June 14.

World Cup holder Germany stays top after the latest round of international fixtures while the rest of the top seven remained unchanged from May’s rankings.
