The US national team is down one spot. Canada's squad is up one.


The latest FIFA World Rankings were released on Thursday, and there was little overall movement from the top CONCACAF nations. The US and Canada were among the ones in that category to change positions, as the Americans dropped down one place into No. 32 while Canada climbed up a spot and into No. 116. (The USA's February 8 friendly win vs. Panama counted in that month's rankings.)



The highest-ranked nations in the region, Costa Rica and Mexico, remained in 13th and 21st places, respectively, while Panama also stayed stagnant in 61st. Trinidad & Tobago stumbled from 62nd to 63rd, and Haiti went from 78th to 77th. Honduras saw a relatively bigger move, sliding down four spots to No. 81.


In the top 10, the only movement was Italy leapfrogging Spain and Switzlerand to move into 10th place. The rest of of the top nations remained in their same places, with World Cup winners Germany at the top spot followed by Argentina, Colombia, Belgium, the Netherlands, Brazil, Portugal, France and Uruguay.
