29th is still way too high

ZURICH, Switzerland (AP) - The United States had the biggest drop among the top 30 teams in the FIFA monthly rankings for September, slipping six places to No. 29.

France, England and the Czech Republic all moved up while five-time World Cup champion Brazil remained on top.
France is now second - up two places from No. 4 - after last week's 3-1 victory over world champion Italy in European Championship qualifying. England improved to No. 4 and the Czechs rose three spots to No. 7.

Italy dropped three places to No. 5 and Spain, which was upset by Northern Ireland 3-2 in another European qualifying match, also fell three spots to No. 10.

European champion Greece had the greatest jump, moving up 10 places to 22nd.
