ZURICH (AP) Germany leads the FIFA rankings again after the 2014 World Cup winner added the Confederations Cup title on Sunday.
Victory by a second-string squad lifted Germany up two places, and Brazil and Argentina fell to Nos. 2 and 3, respectively.
Since Germany last led the rankings exactly two years ago, Brazil, Argentina and Belgium have held the top spot.
Portugal used its third-place finish in Russia to rise four places to No. 4, higher than after it won the 2016 European Championship.
Switzerland climbed to No. 5 by beating the Faeroe Islands to extend its perfect record in World Cup qualifying.
