Wed 07 May, 11:03 AM


(Reuters) - Argentina remain top of FIFA's world football rankings in an unchanged top 10 following the publication of the latest standings on Wednesday.

With none of the leading countries in action, the only change in the top 20 was Cameroon's climb of one place to 16th at the expense of Mexico, despite the Central Americans' 1-0 friendly win over China.

Argentina lead the rankings by two points ahead of Brazil, with world champions Italy in the third.
