With the group stages for the 2014 FIFA World Cup complete, what would a combined table look like if we put all 32 teams together? Who would top the table?
The table has been made keeping the same qualification parameters - Points, Goal Difference and Goals Scored.
No surprises as Netherlands top the table by virtue of goals scored. The Oranje are the only team to get into double digits in terms of goals scored, partly thanks to the 5-1 thrashing of defending champions Spain.
South America is represented in the top three by Colombia, who narrowly missed out on the top spot, and Argentina. Belgium rounds up the only four teams to win all four group games and gets the fourth spot.
Brazil and Germany have an identical record while many fancied European teams like Italy, Spain and England don’t even make it to the top 20.
Australi, Honduras and Cameroon prop up the table with the worst records in the group stages – none of them having won a single game and conceding the most goals in the process.
Meanwhile, Ecuador are the only team in the top 16 who did not make it tot eh Round of 16.
