The FIFA national team rating is updated annually after major football tournaments. The total national team points calculation also includes the matches played by the teams throughout the year.
After the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, the FIFA rankings have been significantly updated. The top three leaders have changed, some teams from the top ten have lost their positions. As of August 2014, the FIFA ranking of the top ten national teams is as follows.
The French national team is in tenth place. Didier Deschamps' team was able to make it to the quarterfinals of the world championship, but the Europeans could not count on more.
The ninth line went to another European team - the Swiss team. The seventh and eighth places are shared by the teams of Spain and Brazil. These football teams have an equal number of points - 1241. It is noteworthy that the Spaniards after the 2014 world championship dropped so much in the ranking (they were in first position).
The Uruguay national team is in the sixth position of the FIFA rating, and the Belgian team is in the fifth.
The fourth place is taken by the Colombian national team. These South American footballers have made many football fans fall in love with them after their beautiful matches at the world championship.
The Netherlands team (bronze medalists of the 2014 World Cup) opens the top three in the FIFA rating. The second place belongs to the Argentine team, which lost the 2014 World Cup only in the final.
The leader of world football at the moment is the German national team, which won the 2014 World Cup. That is why Lev's wards occupy first place in the FIFA rankings with 1736 points. The Germans are more than 100 points ahead of Messi's team.
