FIFA has released its latest World Rankings, which ranks the strongest teams in the world based on the average number of points they gain in a match as well as a combination of other factors.
Germany climbs into first place for the first time in two decades, followed by World Cup runners-up Argentina. Netherlands climbs 12 places into third place, but Brazil — who finished fourth in the 2014 FIFA World Cup — drops four places to number 7.
The USA, meanwhile, falls two places to be ranked number 15 in the world, while England — who crashed out of the World Cup and finished bottom of its group — falls 10 places to number 20.
