FIFA World Rankings November 2021: Top 10 Nations

#7 Spain - 1704.75 points

Spain v Sweden - 2022 FIFA World Cup Qualifier

Spain bounced back from their UEFA Nations League final heartbreak by registering back-to-back wins in their two games in November. They have qualified for the 2022 FIFA World Cup. It definitely looks like Luis Enrique will be able to take this talented Spanish side deep into next year's World Cup.

Enrique's men are a resilient unit and they also showcase great technical artistry similar to the dominant Spanish sides of old. They picked up successive 1-0 wins over Greece and Sweden in November and also gained 17.09 rating points in the process.

#6 Italy - 1740.77 points

Italy v Switzerland - 2022 FIFA World Cup Qualifier

Italy slipped up majorly in November. After crashing out in the semi-finals of the UEFA Nations League, the Azzurri weren't able to conjure up a response. Italy needed to win at least one of their two games in November to beat Switzerland to qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

However, they settled for a 1-1 draw against Switzerland with Jorginho skying a late penalty which could have won the game for Italy. Roberto Mancini's men surprisingly settled for a 0-0 draw with Northern Ireland in their final 2022 FIFA World Cup Qualifier.

They lost 9.75 points since October and have fallen from fourth to sixth in the FIFA World Rankings.

#5 Argentina - 1750.51 points

Uruguay v Argentina - FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Qualifier

Argentina weren't extremely impressive in November but they did enough to gain 11.72 points, jump a place in the rankings and book a berth at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Lionel Scaloni's men played Uruguay in their first World Cup Qualifier in November. A stunning Angel Di Maria strike helped them register a 1-0 win over the Uruguayans.

La Albiceleste then played out a 0-0 draw against arch rivals Brazil. This is the first time since 2018 that Argentina have cracked the top 5 of the FIFA World Rankings.

#4 England - 1755.52 points

San Marino v England - 2022 FIFA World Cup Qualifier

With Albania and San Marino being their final opponents in the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qualifying stage, England were expected to win big. But they absolutely ran riot over their opponents and scored 15 goals in two matches while conceding none.

The Three Lions beat Albania 5-0 before thrashing San Marino 10-0. Harry Kane scored four goals against San Marino and England have qualified for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in extremely comfortable fashion.

They gained 5.36 rating points in November and have jumped a place in the FIFA Rankings.
