Ireland have climbed 2 places on the Fifa World Rankings after last night’s 2-1 win against Paraguay in the RDS.
The win, Ireland’s first in 5 games, saw them rise to 41st place. Northern Ireland are also up 1 place to 56th while England remain 8th
The leader board is topped by Brazil in 1st and hotly tipped Spain in 2nd.
Ireland will get the chance to climb further up the ranks if they can secure their 2nd win in a week when they go up against Algeria in the RDS on Friday.
The win will have come as little consolation to the players but, many of whom are still struggling to get over the disappointment of failing to qualify.
“Everyone is just geared up to the World Cup and it is pretty hard to take at the moment with everything that's surrounding England,” said Preston’s Sean St Ledger. "Everyone is talking about it, and not to be part of it hurts."
