☕️🍀⚽️ Good morning everyone! World rankings have been released, and the USMNT recent success against Mexico has landed them 11th in the list as they gear up for Copa America. Typically, the top 10 in the list don’t move around much until there’s a major tournament that is played. The top 3 countries on the list? Argentina, France and Belgium. Argentina and France might still be riding their success at the most recent World Cup, but we would be lying if we didn’t have our suspicions on how Belgium landed the top 3 ranking 🤔
