ARGENTINA TOPS FIFA RANKINGS

Argentina have moved up one place to go top of the FIFA rankings for October, released by world football's ruling body on Wednesday.

World Cup champions Italy fell two places to third, while Brazil leapfrogged them into second place.

Beaten finalists in Germany last year, France jumped two spots to move up to fourth place while the Germans drop one place to fifth.

But the big losers in October were England, who fell to 11th place after their recent poor showings in Euro-2008 qualifiers.
