USMNT falls to No. 18 in September’s FIFA Rankings – SBI Soccer
The U.S. men’s national team’s disappointing September window saw them fall in the latest FIFA Rankings.
The Americans dropped two spots to No. 18 after a pair of winless friendly results earlier this month. Interim head coach Mikey Varas was on the sidelines for the first two matches following Gregg Berhalter’s departure.
However, the USMNT suffered a 2-1 home loss to Canada in Kansas City, Kansas before conceding a late equalizer in a 1-1 draw with New Zealand in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Luca De La Torre and Christian Pulisic scored the goals for the USMNT. Aidan Morris and Folarin Balogun earned assists.
Mexico stayed at No. 17 while Panama fell two spots to No. 37 and Canada rose two places to No. 38. Costa Rica and Jamaica rounded out CONCACAF’s top-six representatives.
The Top 10 overall spots were unchanged as Argentina, France, Spain, England, and Brazil stayed in the Top Five.
The USMNT’s 2024 schedule continues this October with a pair of friendlies against Panama on Oct. 12 (home) and Mexico on Oct. 15 (away). New head coach Mauricio Pochettino is expected to be on the sidelines for his first matches in charge of the program.
