After the multiple matchs between the top 32(by 2018/6/24), so far, now we can see each country's points, each team's goal difference and each player's goals.
Each Country's Points in Each Group'sThis sunburst chart shows that different country's score in each group(There are 8 groups totally: A-H). We can know that 6 points are the highest score at present. What's more, a team won't show up in this chart if they got 0 point in 2 matchs(There are 2 match between different countries in each group), so you can't see the country like Egypt or Saudi Arabia.
Each Team's Goal DifferenceThe stacked column chart shows us the goal difference of each team. If the column is over the 0 on the scale, that means this team's goal is more than their loss and vice versa. So, according to the data, we can know that Russia is the biggest winner at present and Tunisa really lost a lot of points.
And here are the top 10 player so far( goals). Harry kane and his teammate Jhon Stones from England kicked 7 goals toally. Belgium's player Lukaku and Eden Hazard got 6 goals.
However, one can never tell how things will go. So, there are still many surprises for fans.
