In my infinite boredom, and upon seeing the first round of the World Cup being completed, I decided to rank the teams in order of their finish, based first on points in standings and second on goal differential. If the teams remained tied, they stayed tied. So here goes. Our surprise first-round leader is ...

1. Spain
2. Brazil
2. Germany
4. Portugal
5. Argentina
6. Italy
6. Switzerland
8. England
9. Netherlands
10. Ecuador
11. Ghana
11. Ukraine
13. France
14. Sweden
15. Mexico
16. Australia
17. South Korea
18. Paraguay
19. Czech Republic
19. Ivory Coast
21. Poland
22. Angola
22. Croatia
24. Tunisia
25. Iran
25. Trinidad & Tobago
25. United States
28. Japan
28. Saudi Arabia
30. Togo
31. Costa Rica
32. Serbia & Montenegro

Interesting to look at. Bad luck for you if your name includes "&" or the words "United States." Maybe in four years...
