FIFA Fever

Each country that qualified for the FIFA World Cup 2014 has now completed at least 1 of their 3 group games.  Below is my rankings of the teams based upon their first game only.  Please note that for the rankings all victorious teams are ranked ahead of those that tied and lost, in order of which teams I feel played the best.  As we move through rounds 2 and 3, the records of the teams become less consequential (meaning a team with 1 win and 1 draw could be ranked ahead of a team with 2 wins).
