If the latest world male ranking of FIFA dates from July 10, with Argentina still number 1 ahead of Spain and France, the world female ranking was updated this Thursday. The female euro organized in Switzerland concluded 10 days ago with the second consecutive coronation of England, at the expense of Spain World Champion, on penalties (1-1, TAB: 3-1).
The Spaniards take the opportunity to get back on the throne at the expense of the United States, thanks to six victories over the period June-July, the Americans having played only three friendly matches. England only earns a place to appear in 4th position behind Sweden, which made a jump of three places after its elimination in the quarterfinals of the Women's Euro.
FIFA calculations give a fairly paradoxical situation. Germany lost two places and finds itself 5th, despite its semi-final at the European Nations Championship, while France is advancing four positions to go up to the sixth step. The Bleues were released in the quarter-finals by Mannschaft, but on penalties (1-1, Tab: 5-6).
France jumps with 4 places!
To be precise, within this female FIFA ranking (also sponsored by the big brand of Soda), the formation of Laurent Bonadei, necessarily disappointed by this new failure in the quarterfinals, benefits from its three victories in the Euro group phase (including that of entry against the Three Lionesses) as well as its two successes in preparation against Belgium and Brazil.
Grace Geyoro and his teammates have largely won their group of the League of Nations and have the right to a round-trip semi-final against Germany, on October 24 and 28. Spain-Suede is the other poster. The final is scheduled for December 2.
