Argentina have dropped to third place in the latest FIFA rankings.
The Argentina national team are now third in the FIFA rankings, behind Spain who are first and France who are second. England are behind Argentina in four and Portugal place five in the standings with Brazil six.
Netherlands are seven with Morroco eight, Belgium nine and Germany in ten.
Lionel Scaloni’s team will play Mauritania on Friday and Zambia on Tuesday.
Lautaro Di Lollo is an amazing talent. Top European clubs are interested in him and Italy’s Gattuso is trying to convince him to represent Italy as he has Italian passport. The kid is a right-footed CB, but can also play on the left side. He is tall and well built, good in the air, and excellent at tackling. I don’t know why Scaloni is still calling up LMQ who is finished long ago. Look, Javier Mascherano and Emanuel Mammana has played for the senior Argentina team even before they got professional contract from their clubs. Scaloni doesn’t have the courage to trust young players. This team won’t go far if the likes of Acuna, Balerdi, De Paul, Lo Celso, and Montiel are considered untouchables.
If today argentina win and spain lost to serbia then argentina will be number one..
Ranking is not something we should keep in our head now. We have a mountain to climb.
Other than for top 8 seeding, FIFA ranking literally serves no other purpose whatsoever.
Argentina won all 4 trophies they competed in last 5 years, finished 1st place in qualifier with 4 games in spare, thrashed Brazil 4-1 , what else do you need ? beating Belarus & Macedonia?
