La Albiceleste thereforetake the ‘Team of the Year’ title from Belgium, who they overtook at the summit in April this year, and where they have stayed for the subsequent eight editions of the Ranking.

Cissoko and Geyoro powering the France machine

© Getty Images The impressive form of central defender Hawa Cissoko and holding midfielder Grace Geyoro has been a major factor in France’s run to the final of the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup Papua New Guinea 2016.
The physical prowess and work rate of these two unsung heroes and the understanding between them have been key assets for Bleuettes coach Gilles Eyquem. Along with Mylene Chavas and Delphine Cascarino, Cissoko and Geyoro are the only players in the France squad to have played every minute of their five matches so far. Having put in a big shift to help thwart Japan in the semi-finals, the duo will no doubt have vital roles to play in Saturday’s final against Korea DPR, where the French rearguard will come up against the best attack in the competition.
Ahead of this weekend’s eagerly awaited encounter, FIFA.com spoke to the two mainstays of France’s defensive set-up, who have many things in common, the first of them being that they are the only Paris Saint-Germain players on..

History-making France defy Japan with extra-time heroics

© Getty Images France are into their first FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup final after a 2-1 extra-time victory ended the hopes of in-form Japan.
All the action was crammed into the 30 additional minutes with France hitting a quickfire double against the run of play, before some heroic defending ensured Japan’s comeback was limited to one goal.
France will now meet Korea DPR in Saturday"s final, hoping to make it two wins out of two against Asian opposition in Papua New Guinea.
Actually it was Japan who had the better of the game"s early exchanges and came close to opening the scoring, albeit inadvertently when Rin Sumida’s cross clipped the top of the crossbar.
Japan’s leading scorer Mami Ueno created an opening but fired straight into the hands of goalkeeper Mylene Chavas. France for their part, invariably looked dangerous down the flanks or on the counter-attack.
Though far from an overtly physical match, there were several injury blows. France lost dynamic full-back Saki..
