6:01 am on 30 June 2011

The All Whites have tumbled 37 places down football's world rankings to 97th.

The fall comes in the wake of three-nil losses to Mexico and Australia last month.

New Zealand now sits between Iraq in 96th place and Macedonia in 98th.

Australia's slipped outside the top 20 to 22nd, but Mexico have climbed 19 spots to ninth.

Spain remain world number ones with the Netherlands second, Germany third and England fourth.
