US Men's team still ranked 6th best in the World

During the last month, the US might have won the Gold Cup but they did not managed to overtake Mexico in the FIFA rankings. There was only minor movement in the top 20 with the exception of Japan who fell four spots and Uruguay who dropped from 18 to 25. France, Sweden and Croatia each moved two spots, however France was moving downward while the others moved up. By the way, Panama moved up 6 spots (83 to 77) due to the Gold Cup.
