Italy gained some small consolation for its 2-0 defeat to Brazil in London Tuesday night by clinging on to fourth place in FIFA's monthly world soccer rankings, one spot ahead of Brazil.
The Italians were outplayed at the Emirates stadium after they saw a goal by Fabio Grosso disallowed, going down to goals by Elano and Robinho.

In the FIFA standings, European champions Spain.
