WHAT DOES GOAL AVERAGE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Goal difference

In several sports goal difference or points difference is a form of tiebreaker used to rank teams which finish on equal points in a league competition. The term goal or points difference is used as appropriate depending on whether matches are won according to the number of goals or according to the allocation of points. Goal or points difference is calculated by subtracting the number of goals or points conceded in all league matches from the number of goals or points scored. Goal difference was first introduced in association football, at the 1970 FIFA World Cup, and was adopted in The Football League in England five years later. It has since spread to many other competitions, where it is typically used as either the first or, after tying teams' head-to-head records, second tiebreaker. Goal difference has often replaced the older Goal average, or goal ratio. Using the goal average scheme the number of goals scored is divided by the number of goals conceded. Goal difference was introduced as it is thought to encourage more attacking forms of play, encouraging teams who are winning to score more goals or points as opposed to defending against conceding.
