Team Russia have suffered a slight drop in the FIFA World Ranking list. Guus Hiddink's men moved down from 8th to 9th place following their two 2010 World Cup qualifying matches against Azerbaijan and Liechtenstein.
Despite winning both games, the relatively small extent of the victories, 2-0 and 1-0 respectively, caused them to them slide a spot.
The new list also sees England secure seventh position, overtaking Croatia.
The top three though are unchanged, with Spain leading Germany by a whopping 350 points, which makes them the most dominant nation since the system was set up back in 1993.
Meanwhile, the Netherlands are holding firmly on to third position.
