Can anyone explain to me the basic scoring in World Cup soccer/football? How many games do they play? Is it like best of 3, 5, 7? Each goal worth a point? Team with most goals moves to next round? Thanks!

okay okay
first round is basically composed of groups
the top two teams with the best score advances to the next round
the scoring is determined by wins, losses, and ties.
wins are 3 points
losses are 0 points
and ties are 1 point
after the first round comes the second and then it is single elmination match

You have 8 groups of 4 teams each. The first 2 teams in each group qualify for the next round. Each team from each group will play one game against the other 3 in the group. A victory is 3 points, a draw is 1 point for each team. The standings are based on points and in case 2 teams have the same number of points then the number of goals scored will break the tie.

16 teams compete until they become 8, the 8 compete until they become 4, the four compete until they become 2 and the 2 compete to claim the world cup.
the winning team gets 3 points
the losing team gets 0
the team that has an equal result to it's opponent get 1 point (even if the result is 0-0)
this year FIFA decided to count the number of goals that each team had and the numbers they were in their net and compare results with teams with equivilent points.
