7. Costa Rica
Costa Rica didn’t have the best defense entering the World Cup, but statistically their back line did perform the best. They conceded the least amount of goals with only two goals conceded in five matches.
Otherwise, they made a much deeper run than expected due to their dangerous counter attacks. No one expected this team to even get a point in their group; they managed to go undefeated and silenced their critics.
