The two victories won by the France team in October allowed the Blues to move closer to Argentina at the top of the FIFA Ranking. Waiting for better in November?
The accident against the Mannschaft is forgotten. A month after the Blues’ misstep during a friendly match in Germany (2-1), Didier Deschamps’ men made up for it. Traveling to the Netherlands, the French team indeed achieved a nice success (1-2) and thus validated its qualification for Euro 2024 in Germany. And a few days later, the vice-world champions would do it again in a friendly against Scotland (4-1).
These two victories are not without consequences for the Blues. In fact, they bring France closer to Argentina in the FIFA rankings. However, the Albiceleste also won their two matches on the program, respectively against Paraguay (1-0) and away to Peru (0-2). But the French success in the Netherlands was particularly profitable and allowed France to grab 2.5 points from Argentina.
Brazil is losing ground
With now 1853.11 points, France is nevertheless still 8.2 points behind its tormentor in the World Cup final. And the Blues who will face Gibraltar and Greece next month can hope for a defeat by Argentina, who will successively play Uruguay and Brazil, which would allow the Blues to regain first place in the event of another full card. .
Behind the last two World Cup finalists, Brazil lost a lot of ground due to their defeat against Uruguay and their draw against Venezuela and are now under threat from England. Belgium completes the Top 5 ahead of Portugal and the Netherlands while Spain, Italy and Croatia follow in the Top 10.
