Lithuania five days apart helped Romania climb six places and move back into the top ten in the FIFA Rankings announced yesterday.

And Bermuda, buoyed by their return to the international stage last month, saw their standing rise seven spots into 161.

Romania, who routed Liechtenstein 8-0 on March 29 and then beat Lithuania 1-0 on April 2 to remain unbeaten and untied in five European Group Eight matches, rose to ninth.

Brazil, who beat Poland 4-2 and Chile 4-0 in friendly exhibitions, maintained the top spot for the 37th consecutive month and even widened their gap over Germany. List, Page 24
