ZURICH (AP) - World champion Spain remained No. 1 in FIFA's monthly rankings while Uruguay rose to a new high of No. 3. The United States fell two places to No. 29.
The Netherlands dropped two spots to No. 4. Germany advanced to No. 2 despite not playing since beating England 3-2 in an exhibition in February.
Copa America champion Uruguay has not played since the March rankings were calculated. It rose because the rankings reflect all international results over a rolling four-year period.

No. 15 Ivory Coast is the highest-ranked African team. Mexico still leads CONCACAF nations after rising to No. 20. Australia, at No. 21, leads Asian confederation nations. No. 130 New Zealand leads Oceania.
