FIFA World Rankings: April 2009 Posted: 09 Apr 2009 05:10 PM PDT We haven’t done a FIFA World Rankings post since back December 2008, mostly because it’s all been much of a muchness. Spain ruled the roost, everyone else didn’t and the top 20 barely moved. There was no news to report. And so we didn’t. In April 2009 Spain are still top, but the big news is that they’re more top than anyone has ever been ever. Spain have been #1 for 10 straight months, and their current lead of 367 points over #2 team Germany is the biggest lead any team has had since the rankings began in 1993. Go Spain. Other news to report: Brazil has leapfrogged World Cup 2006 winners Italy to take 4th place, Fabio Capello has pushed England up two places to 7th, France rejoins the top 10 and Portugal are slowly slowly slipping from respectability to mediocrity. Go Carlos Queiroz. Big movers are Bosnia and Togo, who’ve jumped 20 and 26 places respectively after some impressive World Cup qualifying results. The full rankings are of course available at the FIFA website, but spread out over five pages. So after some epic cutting and pasting using only patience, coffee and Microsoft Paint, we can bring you the full rankings table - featuring every FIFA member nation on the planet - below:
