USMNT and Mexico into top 10 of FIFA rankings after Gold Cup success

Both countries are on an upward trajectory thanks to their fine form over the international summer

The USMNT and Mexico have been rewarded for their run to the Gold Cup and CONCACAF Nations League finals by climbing into the top 10 of the latest FIFA men’s world rankings.

The United States beat Mexico 1-0 to lift the Gold Cup for a seventh time earlier this month, while Gregg Berhalter's side were also 3-2 winners in the CONCACAF Nations League final in June.

In a busy summer of international football, there were also moves for the likes of Argentina and Italy following their triumphs in the Copa America and Euro 2020 respectively.
