    <span class="titolo">Azzurri Slip In World Rankings</span></p>

    <span class="sommario">Italy have dropped two places in the FIFA World Rankings, despite victories over Georgia and South Africa this month.</span></p>

    The Azzurri had been on top but have now been overtaken by South American giants Argentina and Brazil. </p>

    Argentina arefirst after 2010 World Cup qualifying wins over Chile and Venezuela, while the Selecao somewhat surprisingly move into second after their draw with Colombia and victory over Ecuador. </p>

    France move up two places to fourth, German drop a position to fifth, while Spain, Holland, Portugal, the Czech Republic and Croatia form the rest of the top 10. </p>

    England have slipped two places to 11th after their disastrous Euro 2008 defeat to Russia, with Guus Hiddink&rsquo;s team are the big movers, rising ten places to 16th. </p>

    Scotland are just two places behind their British rivals, despite their disappointing 2-0 loss in Georgia last Wednesday. </p>
