Rank = Unofficial, overall Final Ranking for all the 32 teams that have contested the 2006 World Cup–pls. note that, in contrast with the official final World Cup results, Germany is shown above to have actually had a better overall campaign than France, even though Germany finished the World Cup third, while France was the Title runner-up. Italy's campaign, on the other hand, was indeed the best of all contestants, a fact which makes Italy a truly worthy Champion–even if some might argue that Lady Luck favored the Italian side a couple of times, on their way to the Title. And Portugal's campaign was likewise compatible with their fourth place.
Pos = First Round Group Placement
Pts = Points helping portray Squads' performances, relatively to each other, as in a championship based on points. (See Rating Criteria to understand how points have been attributed above.) The table on this page comprises all the teams contesting the 2006 World Cup. The Rank & the Points columns (dark green, on either side) of course reflect the number matches played by each squad, as indicated on the Matches column.
