Football (Soccer) World Cup
The World Cup is the biggest sporting event in the world. More people play soccer than any other sport worldwide and there will be more people watching and cheering during the World Cup than for any other single sporting event.
and Microsoft ExcelExcel, your task
You will need to find out which teams play each other in round 1, how results are calculated after games are finished and how a team's performance in round 1 impacts who they will play in round 2 and further on down the line to the Final.
Your spreadsheet will need to include all the games in each round and should reflect the teams that are actually playing in this World Cup. Include formulas in your spreadsheet that calculate the points for each team in their group and automatically advance the teams who finish first and second in each group.

Excellent job!
Thanks! We like to be organised in the HS!
