Point adjustments for all teams, resulting in Brazil returning to the top spot. Last time Brazil was ranked #1 was November 2009. Spain dropped to #2 while Portugal is now #3 (unjustified.) Argentine also moved up a couple of spots (justified.)
Based on the current ranking, just one month before the start of the World Cup, Groups A, B, and D each have 3 teams in the top 20. Groups C, E, G, and H each have 2 teams in the top 20. Group F is the only group that has only one top 20 team (Italy…)
The next game for Greece is a World Cup friendly against Korea DPR at home on May 25.
