FIFA have released their latest rankings, which sees World Cup winners Germany retain top spot, while Argentina, who were runners-up at the tournament in Brazil, stay second.
After their disappointing World Cup and subsequent rough start to the Euro 2016, Spain's slide has continued. The former world champions were unceremiously dethroned in Brazil and have dropped two further places to 8th. Incidentally after their recent win over the Spanish, Slovakia have risen 16 places to 24th.
France, Portugal and Italy have all risen two places each and are now 7th, 9th and 11th respectively, though fellow European nation Switzerand have fallen out of the top 10 to 12th.
England's slump has continued despite back-to-back qualifying wins over San Marino, officially the joint worst team in international football, and Estonia. The Three Lions were ranked 18th in September and have now fallen a further two places to 20th.
