Notes

England stood 5th in the first FIFA ranking of December, 1992 after a fairly successful run under manager Graham Taylor.  It was a level they were not to reach again until late 1997 under Glenn Hoddle.  As Taylor's stewardship turned sour in 1993, England began a long slide down the rankings.  A year after the initial ranking, England had fallen to 11th place, the six-place drop reflecting losses in Norway and Holland that doomed their efforts to qualify for the 1994 World Cup finals and losses to the U.S.A. and Germany in the U.S. Cup Tournament, where they finished last, although managing a draw with Brazil.
