French success: not enough for Fifa 法国队在欧锦赛上的成功还不足以登上FIFA的排名榜榜首

　　Brazil have stayed at the number one spot of Fifa's world rankings on Wednesday, ahead of World Cup and European Cup champions France, while Argentina have moved into the top three for the first time.
　　France have managed to narrow the gap on Brazil to 11 points, but are unlikely to edge the South Americans out of first place.
　　The French already have a berth in the 2002 World Cup as holders and so will not play any point-building qualifiers.
　　Argentina have taken over third place pushing out the Czech Republic and reaching the top three for the first time since the rankings were introduced in 1993.

巴西积分战胜法国

　　在周三公布的国际足联排名榜上，巴西队仍然排在榜首，领先于世界与欧洲双料冠军法国队，而阿根廷队则凭借出色表现第一次跻身前三名。
　　法国队已将与巴西的积分差距缩小到11分，但是看上去他们已经无法将这支南美劲旅拉下头把交椅了。
　　因为法国队作为卫冕冠军已经直接进入了2002年世界杯决赛圈，而不再参加任何可以增加积分的预选赛比赛。
　　阿根廷队凭借预选赛的突出表现将捷克队挤出前三名，这也是国际足联自1993年采用积分制以来阿根廷队首次跻身三甲。
