[Image] Despite the upset loss on penalty kicks in the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup final, the team USA women are still number one in the just released FIFA world rankings.

As a matter of fact, the top five didn't change despite early exits by Brazil and Germany in the quarterfinals of the tournament and the Swedes losing in the semis to the eventual world champion Japan.

The top five remain in order the USA, Germany, Brazil, Japan and Sweden

Where the movement occurred was in the second five.   England jumped four spots to number 6, France stayed at number 7 while Canada slid two spots to number 8.  Australia moved up two spots to number 9 with Norway dropping one to number 10.  .


And if you're wondering how they are calculated, here's the explanation of the formula for how they do so by FIFA.

Next update in the FIFA world rankings will occur September 23, and we'll see if it stays that way.
