For many people around the globe it may seem pretty obvious how the World Cup dynamics work, but for some it just makes no sense at all; and I am included on that some lol
So I thought it would be a good thing to explain how the World Cup phases work, so you can get a better understanding of it, and be able to follow the games with no major doubts, and if you happen to know anything else that I might forget to explain, please feel free to post it
it will be more than welcome.
Ok, so let's start?
Right now the World Cup is still at the groups phase. The 32 national teams were divided into 8 groups of four and only the two first from each group will move on to the next phase. The group phase counts with 3 draws, in which the national teams play only with the teams within their group.
Each victory counts as a point to the national team and in case of a tie, by the end of the 3 draws, on this phase the decision of which teams moves forward can be either based on: 1) best goal scores 2) more goals for or GF 3) head-to-head 4) less yellow and red cards 5) draws.
Only after the 3rd draw is over we'll get to know the theams that will keep playing in the World Cup.
