Despite Loss To Mexico U.S. Moves Up In FIFA/Coca-Cola Rankings
The U.S. moved up one spot in the latest FIFA/Coca-Cola ranking.
Sep 2, 2009 7:40:25 PM
Apparently losing to Mexico was not enough to drop the U.S. down in the FIFA/Coca-Cola World Rankings. In fact, despite the 2-1 loss at Estadio Azteca, the USA jumped up one spot, passing Greece and taking on the 11th spot in the September rankings.
While the win over the U.S. was not enough to jump Mexico up past their CONCACAF rivals El Tri did benefit, moving up six spots in the rankings to 24th.
The other two teams in the race at the top of CONCACAF, Costa Rica and Honduras also had a bit of movement, though the Costa Ricans were the only team amongst CONCACAF's 'big four' to drop down by moving down one spot to 39th. The Hondurans made a rather large four slot move by jumping up to 42nd.
Trinidad and Tobago proved to be the biggest movers in CONCACAF jumping up seven places in the world ranking to 73rd, just three spots ahead of Canada.
