Major surprise?. Well, Ukraine in first place with a contundent notorious
difference over Russia. But all the final table has some surprises, as you
can observe. Some favorites are out of the table (England, France, and a
few ex-Sovietic Republics, by example), and others not very favorites are
in good positions: Armenia, USA, Cuba... Bulgaria in 9th. is also a
surprise, it was expected in the five top positions...
