Germany fall to 17th in FIFA rankings after World Cup exit

Germany have dropped to 17th in the FIFA World Rankings, their lowest position in years after a World Cup campaign that ended in the round of 32 (1). Spain now sit top following their triumph, while Norway climbed into the top five. The slide mirrors the turbulence around the national team since Julian Nagelsmann's exit, with Jurgen Klopp now set to inherit a side in need of more than just a tactical refresh.
