Big movers were Uruguay (6th, up 10), Chile (10th, up 8), Paraguay (16th, up 15), Ghana (23rd, up 9) and Japan (32nd, up 13), who all impressed everyone in the World Cup finals. On the other hand, former World Cup winners Italy (11th, down 6) and France (21st, down 12) who caused great disappointment in South Africa crashed down the rankings.

Meanwhile, despite not appearing in the 2010 FIFA World Cup, Turkey's Crescent Stars have climbed up one spot in the rankings to 28th.
