FIFA Ranking: July 2009 preview

Point totals for teams from the top 20 of the October 2007 ranking should be 100% correct. For the others, there's the issue of historical rankings published before July 2006. Except England - see June 2009 differences.

Included: matches up to and including June 4th, 2009.

Spain in danger of losing top spot after a very long time. Brazil and/or Italy could theoretically overtake them.

Egypt to break in the top 5 if they win all their FIFA Confederation Cup group matches and in the knock-out stages defeat Italy and Spain. Same goes for the USA.
