Spain are the current World Cup and European Champions but are considered to be only the 2nd best team in the world!
What a load of bull!

It's done on a points system, and Holland have overtaken them. The World Cup was last year, Euros in 2008 therefore time has made the rankings change.

The FIFA world rankings are a decent indication of football nation's staus but no more. EG - I would be happy enough to accept Holland as one of the top 5 nations in the world at the moment but there's no doubting who the real top dogs are right now.

As basehibby has said, the FIFA rankings are an indication of a nations football status but nothing more. England even being in the top ten is probably debatable going on results and performances over the past 5 years.
My top five would be:
Spain
Brazil
Germany
Netherlands
Argentina
As an aside, I was really impressed by Chile at the last WC, a bit lightweight but the tempo of their play,movement and passing ability was superb IMO.
