After 12 matches, Argentina remains at the top despite a loss, while Brazil drops points and their current position is...

 After the international break, club football has resumed, and everyone is now focused on club matches. During the break, football teams played two matches each, and Argentina and Brazil were no exception. However, both teams suffered a defeat in one of their two matches, resulting in a loss of one FIFA ranking point each. Despite this, their rankings remain unchanged.

On Thursday, September 19, FIFA, the global governing body of football, released the latest rankings. Despite losing a point, Lionel Messi's Argentina still holds the top spot, while Brazil sits in fifth place after losing points.

Two months ago, FIFA released its previous rankings, with Argentina at the top. At that time, Argentina had 1,889.02 points. Following a loss, they dropped 12.46 points. Argentina's 12-match winning streak was broken with a defeat against Colombia, a team they had beaten to win the Copa América.

While Argentina maintained their top position, Bangladesh dropped two spots in the rankings, falling from 184th to 186th place. Despite this, Bangladesh's points increased by 0.04, bringing their total to 896.71. In early September, Bangladesh played two friendly matches during their tour of Bhutan, winning one and losing the other. This tour marked Bangladesh's first defeat in Bhutan in eight years.
