USMNT records highest FIFA world ranking since 2006.

The USMNT have broken into the top 10 of the latest FIFA world rankings, as Gregg Berhalter’s side continue to push forward after a strong summer.

It turns out the kids are more than alright.

This is great news for the young American side, who are the biggest climbers in the top 20 of the FIFA world rankings.

After winning both the CONCACAF Nations League and Gold Cup this summer (with two extremely different squads) the USMNT have pushed up 10 places into 10th in the latest FIFA rankings.

Although Mexico lost to the U.S. in both major finals this summer in the CONCACAF region, El Tri still moved up two spots themselves and sit in ninth place, one place ahead of the USMNT.

Elsewhere, Belgium remain in top spot despite losing in the quarterfinals of EURO 2020 with Copa America runners up Brazil moving up one spot to second and France dropping a spot to third. Meanwhile the European Championships winner Italy moved up two spots to fifth and EURO 2020 runners up England remain in fourth.

Copa American champions Argentina moved up two places to sixth, Spain dropped one place to seventh, Portugal is down three places to eighth and then Mexico and the USMNT round off the top 10.

My Take ?? FIXED Rankings., way too many Nations TOP 10 that do not belong in there, specially after all the Falls in June and July . . .

The biggest absence has to be Germany at 16th. They certainly have declined since 2018.

Not sure I'd consider the USMNT a top 10 squad, despite some recent successes.

I have to say if the US played Germany tomorrow my money would be firmly on the Germans!

This is for the World Cup qualifiers vs. El Salvador, Canada, and Honduras:

Apparently Christian Pulisic was cleared to play after a recent bout with COVID-19.

Well that wasn't an impressive performance by the USMNT. But having no practice time together probably has a lot to do with it.

0x0 in another Country it's a PLUS, no matter How you look at it ....
