ZURICH, JULY 2 (AP): Spain leapt to the top of FIFA's monthly rankings for the first time following its triumph at the European Championship, with Brazil and Argentina both shoved out of the top three.
Spain's 1-0 victory over Germany in Sunday's Euro 2008 final lifted it three places to make it just the sixth team after France, Germany, Brazil, Italy and Argentina to hold top spot in the 15-year-old rankings.
Brazil dropped to fourth place in the list published Wednesday, the first time since November 1993 that the five-time World Cup holders have been outside the top three.
