Essay
The table consists of soccer teams which is being ranked according to the total points that they got. The team who won in the most number of matches will have the higher chance to be at the top in the table.
The table is divided into 9 sections where there are the Team names, GP (game played) is the total number of matches, W (win) is the total number of matches won, D (draw) is the total number of matches draw and L (lose) is the total number of matches lost. In a match, the team are able to earn 3 points if the team win the match or draw 3 matches. If the team win 4 matches and draw 5 matches, the team earns 17 points. No points are awarded for a loss.
The rest are GF (goals for) are number of goals that is for the team, GA (goals against) are number of goals that is for the opponent and GD (goals difference) is the goals difference between GF over GA. If the GD is positive it shows that it is in a safe zone and if it is a negative number, it shows that it is in a danger zone.
If the teams has the same number of points, we have to look at the number of goals difference to determined the rank. For example, if Arsenal and Manchester United has 17 points each but Arsenal has 5 for its goals difference and Manchester United has 3 goals difference. Arsenal will be rank higher than Manchester United as it scored higher in the goals difference.
Soccer league is an association of sports teams that organizes matches for its members. There are in total, 20 clubs in the Premier League. At the end of the Premier League, the top four teams in the Premiership will qualify for the UEFA Champions League.
From the English Premiership League table in previous years for example in 2006 and 2005, I could see that in a year they played 38 matches. In these matches, each team plays once at their home stadium and once at that of their opponents for a total of 38 games. Teams are ranked by total points, then goal difference and then goals scored. At the end of the year, the team with the most points is the champion. If points are equal, we have to see the goal difference and goals scored to determine the winner.
