61 - Cape Verde Islands
37 - St. Kitts and Nevis
31 - Barbados
27 - Haiti
18 - Cuba
17 - Antigua and Barbuda
16 - Timor-Leste
13 - Brunei Darussalam
12 - Cambodia
9 - Korea DPR

-103 - Dominican Republic
-69 - Slovenia
-41 - Croatia

First spot up for grabs - Argentina, Germany, Belgium and Portugal could claim it, but only Germany don't have to watch the other teams' results. With wins vs. Republic of Ireland and Georgia they will return to the top.
