Argentina knock Belgium from top of FIFA rankings

Argentina reclaimed top spot from Belgium in Thursday’s FIFA world rankings, while Copa America champions Chile soared to an all-time high of third place.

Two-time defending European champions Spain drop three places to sixth, with world champions Germany, Brazil, Portugal and England also sliding down one spot. FIFA Rankings as of April 7: 1. Argentina (+1) 2. Belgium (-1) 3. Chile (+2) 4. Colombia (+4) 5. Germany (-1) 6. Spain (-3) 7. Brazil (-1) 8. Portugal (-1) 9. Uruguay (+2) 10. England (-1)
