Even though Brazil lost in the quarterfinals, Argentina’s win at the World Cup was not enough to pass them. In the group stage, Brazil won three games and lost to Cameroon. After losing to Croatia in the quarterfinals, they were out of the world football tournament.

Argentina won Copa America in 2021 and is now the world champion, but that wasn’t enough to take the top spot. Wins in overtime are worth more ranking points than wins in shootouts. France or Argentina would have been number one if they had won within 120 minutes, including 30 minutes of extra time.

England is still in fifth place after their performance in the quarterfinals. The Netherlands, which also made it to the quarterfinals, fell two spots to sixth.
