WORLD champion Spain returned to the top of the FIFA rankings yesterday while Brazil dropped to third place and Italy slumped to 11th.
World Cup finalist the Netherlands also leapfrogged Brazil for second, a rise of two places, while England surprisingly moved up a rung to seventh despite a disappointing tournament in South Africa. Semifinalist Uruguay was the big gainer, up 10 places to sixth, while 1998 champion France capped a pitiful performance by slipping 12 to 21st.
