England have returned to the top ten in the Fifa world rankings, climbing two places to ninth after last week's victories over USA and Trinidad & Tobago.

However, manager Fabio Capello is unlikely to see his side retain their place as the three sides directly below - Holland, Portugal and Romania - have all qualified for Euro 2008.

Meanwhile, Scotland have dropped two places to 17th and Northern Ireland are up two in 32nd.

The Republic of Ireland have fallen one spot to 42nd, while Wales are also down one in 53rd.

Argentina have extended their lead over Brazil at the top of the rankings, while world champions Italy are in third.
