Wales have leapfrogged England in the official world rankings for the first time in their history, as the latest edition of the FIFA standings was announced on Thursday. Chile have also moved ahead of the Three Lions after their summer triumph in the Copa America.
Chris Coleman’s Welsh side have been in superb form as of late, and they preserved their spot as the ninth-best team in the world. England, despite having won all of their European Championship qualifying matches so far, drop down from eighth into 10th, with the South American champions jumping above both home nations.
