Belgium finished off their Group B qualifying campaign with a comfortable 3-1 victory against Israel and somewhat inexplicably they are now ahead of World Cup holders Germany and the likes of Brazil and Argentina in the rankings.

The Liverpool goalkeeper could make his first appearance under new manager Jurgen Klopp when the Reds face Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane in the Premier League on Saturday lunchtime.

Liverpool trio Simon Mignolet, Christian Benteke and Divock Origi are on top of the world after helping the Belgium national team claim the No. 1 spot in FIFA’s global rankings.

Ranking points are based on four criteria: the result of the match, the importance of the game, the strength of the opposition and the strength of the confederation.

Milan Djuric netted what would turn out to be the victor for Bosnia, to keep them on course for what could be their first ever European Championship appearance.

I set myself a target to finish in third place (in the group).

The hosts doubled their lead on 78 minutes, as De Bruyne curled a free kick into the bottom corner of Israel goal.

In the 66th minute, Napoli winger Dries Mertens opened the score for Belgium, with a low shot in the penalty area that beat Ofir Marciano in Israel’s goal.

“Whatever happens, we get through it”, defender Vincent Kompany said.

“But if we play like we did tonight, then I think we can be ambitious”.

Belgium had already qualified before their win over Israel but they impressed against a visiting side who were still hoping to book a playoff place.

Having beaten Cyprus away earlier in the qualifying stages, Israel was the favorite to win at home, but Cyprus took a 58th minute lead through a Dossa Junior header.
