 * I am getting Mexico #2 instead of Poland in world cup group C in the group table
   position. Poland should be #2 bec of goal difference but seems like the plugin
   is not detecting it? Are you guys getting the same?

 * I am getting the same. This is exactly the reason I am visiting the forum. I 
   hope this can be solved easily.

 * But you can manually change the position in the team group.
    Dashboard->Football
   Pool->Teams->select POLAND->edit->and add “2” in group order

 * Thanks [@fanman1948](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fanman1948/) – that 
   definitely will solve it. But i’m curious because there is -1 goal difference
   between POL and MEX so the plugin should have calculated the position correctly..
   seems like it is not. weird.

 * To give some context: the plugin cannot implement all different rules for all
   competitions. FIFA has different rules than UEFA and both can be different from
   national competitions. The plugin does not know what kind of competition you 
   are running.
 * I have some basic rules that apply to most situations (all based on data from
   the matches) and there are indeed 2 extra tie-breaking options available. One
   is the group order value on the team, but the plugin will only use that as a 
   last resort (more on this later). The other is a complete overwrite of the order
   via a filter (to have your own custom rules).
 * By default the following sorting algorithm is used:
    // total points for the 
   team // check if the teams have the same number of matches played // check goal
   difference (difference between scored and against) // then check the goals scored//
   all failed, so we check a ‘hardcoded’ (set on the team) ordering
 * If you do not see Mexico in third place, could it then be that you have an extension
   enabled to overwrite the default sorting? I know that I created something for
   the last UEFA European championship once.

 * Hi [@antoineh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/antoineh/) ya — i have that
   EUFA rules used which I think we talked abt before, so thats the reason. Thank
   you again! The manual correction is able to fix it.
