USMNT INCHES UP TO #29
Johannes de Jong for Yanks Abroad Thursday, April 19, 2007
The US National Team finds itself in 29th place in April's FIFA World Rankings after moving up one slot from March, which saw them post a 3-1 win over Ecuador and scoreless draw with Guatemala.
The team has yet to lose a game under interim head coach Bob Bradley, recording three wins and a draw, but has only managed to move up two places from when the former Chivas USA tactician took charge in January.
June 2nd bears a friendly against China before the month's CONCACAF Gold Cup action goes on tap to give the team its next chances for climbing up the world governing body of soccer's pecking order, with any results set to take effect when July's rankings are announced.
Italy reclaimed the top spot from Brazil, with Argentina, France and Germany holding down third through fifth as they did last month.
The Netherlands and Portugal climb to sixth and seventh, ahead of two-spot droppers England, Spain and the Czech Republic.
Mexico remains the highest ranked CONCACAF team, rising three places to 18th.
