The latest FIFA men's world rankings have seen Spain maintain its top spot, while the United States men's national team made a significant leap, moving up two spots to 14th. This impressive rise comes after the team's 5-1 victory over Uruguay in Tampa, Fla. The USMNT's win marked the largest margin of victory against a top-15 opponent in over two decades, achieved without key players Christian Pulisic, Timothy Weah, Tyler Adams, Weston McKennie, and Chris Richards. The team's head coach, Mauricio Pochettino, praised his players for their dedication and perseverance, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a positive mindset. The USMNT's recent success is a testament to their resilience and adaptability, as they have consistently earned positive results with varying lineups. Spain remains at the top of the rankings, followed closely by Argentina, France, England, and Brazil. The top 10 also includes Portugal, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, and Croatia. The USMNT will face several challenging matches ahead of the 2026 World Cup, including friendlies against Portugal and Belgium in March. The team's first World Cup game is scheduled for June 12 in Inglewood, Calif.
