Final tables after all 72 group-stage matches
The complete, final standings for every group at the first 48-team World Cup. Each table shows matches played, won, drawn and lost, goals for and against, goal difference and points, calculated from the full match-by-match record of the group stage.
Under the 48-team format, the top two of each group advanced automatically, joined by the eight best third-placed teams — which is why a Round of 32 existed for the first time in World Cup history. Teams that qualified for the knockout stage are marked with a green bar.
