World Cup group standings, table, schedule: Results for USMNT, Argentina, Brazil and the entire 48-team field

This 48-team extravaganza is the biggest World Cup there has ever been, and it might just be the most complex too. Twelve groups of four teams might be enough to follow in the first place, but those fans of brackets who have a familiarity of past tournaments might have a sense of what the issue is here. A dozen groups do not a round-robin path to the final easily make.

As such, eight of the 12 groups will send their third-place team to the first knockout rounds, meaning 72 games will be required to trim a third off this field. Those third-place teams will be ranked first by the points they accrue and then by goal difference, goals scored, their team conduct score (yellow and red cards), and then their FIFA ranking.

In short, this could get complicated. There's going to be a lot to follow, an awful lot of permutations that might, for example, decide whether Scotland get through and Sweden don't. Catch up with all the standings below.
