Understanding the Standings Table
The table below shows how the teams in Group J are doing. It's like a scoreboard that updates after each game. Here's what each part means:
- Pos: This is the team's position or rank in the group. The team at the top is doing the best!
- Team: This is the name of the country's football team.
- Pld: This means "Played." It's the number of games the team has played so far.
- W: This means "Won." It's how many games the team has won.
- D: This means "Drawn." It's how many games ended in a tie (no winner).
- L: This means "Lost." It's how many games the team has lost.
- GF: This means "Goals For." It's the total number of goals the team has scored.
- GA: This means "Goals Against." It's the total number of goals scored against the team by their opponents.
- GD: This means "Goal Difference." You get this by subtracting "Goals Against" from "Goals For." A higher number means the team scores more than they let in.
- Pts: This means "Points." Teams get points for winning (usually 3 points) and drawing (usually 1 point). Losing gives 0 points. The team with the most points usually qualifies!
