since July 2011.
Brazil are now the leading team from the CONMEBOL
confederation in the rankings, with Argentina behind Colombia and Uruguay in
seventh.
World Cup holders Spain continue to lead the way in first
ahead of Germany and Portugal, a position they have held from September 2011.
Chile have switched places with United States, moving one
spot up to 13th, while Honduras are tied for 30th with Serbia following a
two-place jump.
The 2014 World Cup begins on June 12 in Sao Paulo, with
