Maybe have a 2nd competition running alongside the main one which gives each team points based on their score and their world rank (compared to the others in their group).

You'd need to work it out so that a team expected to come 4th in their group, but makes it to the round of 16, gets rewarded enough to beat out Spain's score if they were to win the world cup. So really, you'd want to be rewarding teams who overachieve.

So a team ranked 20th beating a team ranked 4th would get a lot of points, given that they weren't expected to win, and the converse result would give the team ranked 4th a small amount of points as they were expected to win.

This way a team like New Zealand who aren't expected to get a goal, would be rewarded greatly for a draw against anyone, where as a team like Spain wouldn't win the competition unless they beat everyone convincingly.

The only challenge is working out a fair way to do this...
