Does anyone get confused by the way records are displayed across the pond?

In Merica we use the W-L-D format while Europe uses W-D-L... Why is this the case?

It gets me a lot, too. I have to look at the top of the table and figure the best team will have more draws than losses to remember how it is set up.
Another thing is remembering the home team comes first on the scoreboard in Europe.

I always look for what each column means. Using international stuff, things are always different, so I check every time.

I can't say for sure, but I would guess they set it up as W-D-L because it's in order of good to bad.
We probably stick to W-L-D in soccer because that's how we're used to seeing it in other sports where ties are rare.

Who knows? But it does make more sense if you think about it. Wins should be on one side, losses on the other, and draws in the middle. It just seems off to us because we're so used to seeing it the other way.
