After winning Copa Centroamericana last week, Costa Rica remain the highest ranked CONCACAF team in the latest FIFA rankings.
Los Ticos retain their top spot despite not moving up in the rankings, remaining at No. 15. The US national team moved up one spot to No. 17 after defeating Czech Republic in Prague on September 3. Sandwiched in between the two countries is Mexico, who defeated Bolivia and drew with Chile in friendlies over the September FIFA date.

The only change in the top five of the rankings is Colombia switching places with the Netherlands, moving up from No. 4 to No. 3. Germany and Argentina remain in the No. 1 and No. 2 spots while Belgium rounds out the top five.
Another three CONCACAF teams are sandwiched together, this time in the mid-50s. After advancing to the final of Copa Centroamericana, Guatemala moved up an astounding 77 spots to No. 57. Just ahead of them sit two Central American competitors in Honduras (No. 56) and Panama (No. 55).
Two other CONCACAF teams made big moves, with El Salvador moving from No. 127 to No. 72 after finishing in fourth place while Antigua and Barbuda jumped all the way from No. 149 to No. 80 after going 3-0 in Caribbean Cup qualifiers.
