Argentina fails to reclaim world top spot despite beating Egypt
The Argentine national team defeated Egypt 3-2 in the 2026 World Cup, but they did not benefit from the victory to maintain their top position in the FIFA rankings, as France overtook them to become number one after their 1-0 win over Paraguay, despite the points difference being only 0.71. Following the match, Argentina's ranking dropped from first to second place under the continuous update system, with the possibility of teams exchanging positions still ongoing. This situation is considered part of the "champion's curse" that has affected teams that topped the rankings before the tournament.
