With a win of two places thanks to good results in the Nations League, the team of national coach Louis van Gaal is the biggest climber in the top 10. World champions France performed less well in the past international period and lost its place in the best three countries to Argentina.
Brazil has strengthened its leading position in the ranking. The country benefited from Belgium’s lesser results in the same group as the Netherlands in the Nations League.
The Orange squad won the last international match against Belgium in Brussels (1-4), triumphed with the second choice in Wales (1-2), drew against Poland (2-2) in De Kuip and won at home against Wales (3-2) . The group victory, which results in a place in the final round of the third edition of the Nations League, is up for grabs.
