Matchday guide

Model the group tables and third-place race

The standings page helps you test how group results can change qualification. Enter scores, recalculate the table and see how points, goal difference and goals scored affect each group.

World Cup 2026 makes this more important because third-placed teams can still qualify. The page includes a best third-place table so you can compare the teams that finish third across all groups.

Each group can be opened from the side panel, and group-specific pages are available when you only care about one table. The full calculator is better when you want to compare outcomes across the tournament.

The standings rules connect directly to the Round of 32 bracket. Once a group scenario is clear, the next question is usually which knockout slot those teams could move into.

For a quick visit, choose a group, enter a few expected scores and watch how the table changes. For deeper planning, compare the third-place table after every group scenario.
