By Sports Network January 18, 2012

Zurich, Switzerland (Sports Network) - There wasn't a lot of movement in the latest edition of the FIFA/Coca-Cola Men's World Rankings as just 11 matches were taken into account from the past month.

Spain continues to sit atop the table with the Netherlands, Germany and Uruguay in a close group occupying the next three places respectively.

Chile (12th, up 1) was the lone team in the top 20 in action this past month, using a 3-2 win over Paraguay to move past Russia (13th, down 1).

Despite a lack of activity in the past month, Bosnia-Herzegovina (19th, up 1) and Panama (47th, up 2) still managed to achieve their highest-ever ranking, while Montenegro (50th, up 1) made its way back into the top 50.

Mexico remains the highest-ranked team in the CONCACAF region at 21st, with the United States (33rd, up 1) improving slightly from last month.

The next edition of the FIFA/Coca-Cola Men's World Rankings will be released on Wednesday, February 15.
