ENGLAND have moved up two places in the monthly Fifa world rankings to sixth. Not that they should be taken seriously according to Jurgen Klinsmann, the Germany coach.
“The rankings are a joke,” he said. Germany have dived to 20th — below Mexico, the United States and Iran — because, the former Tottenham Hotspur forward explained, as hosts of next year’s World Cup finals they do not enter the qualification tournament and so play only friendly matches, which do not allow them to accrue many points in Fifa’s ratings system.
Brazil continue to top the list, with the Czech Republic replacing France in second to become Europe’s highest-ranking team. Wales, however, drop two places to 73rd after two defeats by Austria. They have been overtaken by Zambia.
