African champions Algeria are fourth, with Nigeria rounding up the top five.

Overall, Belgian remain the number one ranked nation in the world, but are only just a few points ahead of Brazil in second place.

France remained third, while England moved up to fourth after Italy dropped to sixth. Lionel Messi’s Argentina rounded up the top five.
