England remained in 11th place in the latest world rankings issued by governing body FIFA.
A 1-0 defeat to France in Paris last month was not enough to alter the position of Fabio Capello's side in the list, which is once again topped by Argentina.
A 2-0 friendly win over Egypt last month helped Argentina hold top spot for the seventh consecutive month but Brazil narrowed the gap with a 1-0 victory in their friendly game against higher-ranked Sweden.
There was no movement among the top seven sides but Greece secured their highest ranking, climbing above Portugal into eighth place after beating Luiz Felipe Scolari's men 2-1 last month.
Scotland, who drew 1-1 with Croatia in March, dropped one place to 15th.
