Argentina will reportedly overtake Belgium at the top of FIFA's world rankings when the standings are updated next month.
The Albiceleste beat both Chile and Bolivia in World Cup qualifying over the international break and that, coupled with Belgium's solitary friendly defeat to Portugal, means that they will go top of the standings, according to ESPN.
Despite losing to Argentina, Chile will climb to a highest-ever position of third as Germany drop down to fifth – their lowest rank for six years – behind Colombia.
England stay tenth, with Uruguay the only new name in the top ten as they climb two places to ninth.
