Zurich: Portugal rise to No. 3 in the latest FIFA rankings and fourth-ranked Colombia now lead the South American nations.
World and European champion Spain remain top, ahead of Germany. Uruguay rise one place to No. 5.
World Cup host Brazil are tied for No. 6 with traditional rivals Argentina, who drop three places. Though no top team played last month, the rankings movement is caused by earlier results in a four-year cycle of matches having less value.
Switzerland, Italy and Greece, rising three places, complete the top 10. United States rise to No. 13 after drawing 2-2 with No. 19 Mexico.
Ivory Coast, at No. 21, lead the African nations. Iran are the highest-ranked Asian confederation team at No. 37. Australia at No. 59 are the lowest-ranked World Cup team.
