Where is Belgium in the World?

The FC panel debate the best team in international football and highlight Brazil's impressive resurgence. Gab Marcotti and Alejandro Moreno enthusiastically debate whether Brazil can be called the world's best team right now. ESPN FC's Alejandro Moreno delves into Neymar's role for Brazil, focusing in on how he's matured on and off the pitch.

Brazil have taken over at the top of the FIFA rankings for the first time since 2010.

The first team to qualify for the 2018 World Cup, Brazil have won nine consecutive games since Tite took over as coach.

The Selecao replace Argentina in top spot, a side whose participation at the World Cup in Russia is in doubt following poor recent form.

World champions Germany are third and the only non-South American side in the top five, with Chile and Colombia just behind in fourth and fifth respectively.

South American teams tallied more ranking points last month by playing two World Cup qualifiers, while European teams played just one.
