England haven't lost a competitive match since 2010.

Three for me, and two for them.

Not for much longer - Croatia's taking number 4 in the next rankings.

Do losses on pens not count as losses?

Regardless, they're ranked 4th because they qualify well for competitions. Nice system.
No, they don't. The match is drawn, and a penalty shootout is held to determine who will progress in the tournament.

New Caledonia star striker George Gope-Fenepej made his first start for Troyes of French Ligue 2 in the 3-1 League Cup quarter-final win over Evian (Evian's magic water obviously not effective):

"Ecstatic to see his side progress following a fine performace, Furlan was also impressed with the way Gope-Fenepej integrated into the squad.

“We started Georges, who has deserved to start for a while but we have had other combinations which have been working well, and we had to find the right time to give him a chance,” he said.

Estac Troyes will now travel to Lyon to face Olympique Lyonnais in one semi-final while FC Nantes will welcome Paris Saint-Germain in the other."

All  Whites "Honiara Horror" nemesis, striker Georges Gope-Fenepej of New Caledonia has been doing alright in his second season in French football with Estac Troyes. He made his debut with one Ligue 1 game for the club last season as they were relegated from Ligue 1. They currently sit tenth in Ligue 2.

Gope-Fenepej started the French League Cup quarter-final win vs. Evian and came on as an 82 min. sub in the close 2-1 semi-final loss to mighty Olympique Lyonnais, the dominant French team of the last twenty years:

14 appearances for Troyes in Ligue 2 this season (4 starts; 10 as a sub)

+ 2 League Cup

1 French Cup

12 goals in 10 appearances for the reserve team this season.
