South Korea is set to join the top 30 when the FIFA World Cup All Time Rankings are updated after the tournament.

With Korea's advance to the round of 16 it will add four points to lift it from 30th to 27th place after the 2010 South Africa World Cup.

It is the first time for Korea to join the top 30 in the All Time World Cup Rankings.

FIFA awards three points for a win and one for draw, and Korea, ranked 47th in the world scored four with a 1-1-2 record.

If countries have the same number of points, the team that took fewer games to reach the score will be placed higher.

Before this year's competition Korea had collected 19 points with a 4-7-13 record. Croatia was ranked 27th with 20 points followed by Cameroon and Scotland with 19.

But Croatia and Scotland didn't add to their tallies as they failed to qualify for these finals and Cameroon was eliminated from Group E with three losses.

The current teams in 25th and 26th are Denmark and the United States with 23 and 21 points, respectively. But the Danes collected three points and the Americans five in South Africa to remain ahead of Korea.

Meanwhile Japan, which lost to Paraguay on penalties, added seven points with two wins and two losses, as a loss in a shootout is treated as a draw.

Japan, which was ranked 44th, has improved to at least 33rd. Japan had eight points before South Africa at 2-2-6 and a total of 15.

Ghana, which has now collected seven points in 2010 alone, had 13 points. But it's World Cup campaign isn't over as they await a quarterfinal match against Uruguay.

Brazil is first with 206 points (64-14-14) followed by Germany with 184 points (55-19-18).

Italy, Argentina, England, France and Spain are next teams on the list.
