Dwayne De Rosario and Team Canada rank 88th worldwide. (Chris Young/Canadian Press)Canada has jumped 13 places to No. 88 in the FIFA world soccer rankings.
The Canadian men snapped an eight-game winless streak earlier this month with a 2-1 win over Honduras, a friendly that followed a 2-0 loss to Peru.
Canada is sandwiched between Togo and Georgia.
World Cup champion Spain stayed atop the rankings while Germany and England moved up after back-to-back wins in European Championship qualifiers.
The new rankings have France, which lost a home Euro 2012 qualifier to Belarus, dropping six places to No. 27 — its worst position since the rankings were introduced in 1993.
Spain's 4-1 loss to Argentina in a friendly last week meant its lead narrowed over the second-ranked Netherlands.
Germany is No. 3 and Brazil dropped to No. 4.
