Belgium have jumped above Argentina into second place in the latest
edition of Fifa's world rankings - their highest-ever position.
Marc Wilmots' side did not play during the most recent rankings window, but went second behind Germany due to the devaluation of past results.
Belgium visit France - who jumped two places to ninth - for a friendly on Sunday, before visiting Wales for an important Euro 2016 qualifier next Friday.
The two sides are currently tied on 11 points at the top of Group B, with Belgium edging ahead on goal difference.
Colombia sit fourth in the ranking ahead of Brazil, with Netherlands, Portugal, Uruguay, France and Spain completing the top 10.
Italy have to settle for 13th spot, while England drop one place to 15th,
Madagascar are the biggest movers, up 37 to 113th, while Maldives suffered the biggest drop, falling 38 positions to 178th.
