Only three weeks to go to the start of the World Cup Finals; and the latest FIFA rankings may tell us who the favorites are...
Brazil (1st) have retaken the top spot from Spain (2nd), with Portugal (3rd). The reigning World Champions Italy are in 5th, while England (8th) have been overtaken by Argentina (7th). The USA have risen to 14th. Other notables include England and the USA's other group opponents Algeria (31st) and Slovenia (23rd), while hosts South Africa are 90th...not much chance of a 'home win' there I feel!
So according to form, England should exit at the quarter finals (no surprise there!) and the USA should make it out of the group stages to the second round... Both are distinct possibilities...
