The Selecao have fallen five places to 11th after losing their last two games to Mexico and a Lionel Messi inspired-Argentina, who remain seventh.
England have moved up to fourth in the world despite their quarter-final exit at Euro 2012 while Italy, who beat the Three Lions in the quarter-finals and reached the final have jumped up six places into sixth.
