W-L-T or W-D-L?

Hey i'm going start a poll, 'football' or 'soccer' ? k?

Wins-Losses-Ties works best for me. I think that's how it's usually done for hockey and other sports in Canadian newspapers.

anybody vote for losses to come first yet?

Don't care, as long as the table spells out which system it's using.

I agree with this too. It can be especially confusing when you've grown up with W-L-T and you check foreign sites first thing monday morning. Being half awake and trying to decipher V-N-P (Serie A) or S-U-N (Bundesliga) just doesn't work well.

I can't believe this thread is back up! FWIW, I still prefer W-D-L for football. Just about every major football league displays their standings this way, so I would like it if there was continuity with MLS. That way, I could say X team has a record of 10-4-7, and someone would instantly be able to figure out how good that team is.
