Two months after climbing back into the Top 10 in the FIFA World
Rankings, the U.S. Men's National Team continued its climb up the
ladder, by moving up two notches to their highest ranking ever at
seventh, ahead of such powerhouses as England, Italy, Argentina and
Germany. This is the 16th time the U.S. has been ranked in the Top 10
since breaking in for the first time in August of 2002 after their
remarkable quarterfinal run in the 2002 World Cup. Go USA 2006,
