FIFA 15: 9 International Teams That Need To Be Added

Gallant efforts from the Costa Rican shot-stopper Keylor Navas and Arsenal wonder-boy Joel Campbell inspired a number of terrific displays, even Fulham's Bryan Ruiz, who struggled to adapt to the Premier League, reminded us of his vast capabilities. Costa Rica now sit proudly at 16th in the world rankings, the highest they've ever been.
