Overall team records

As of 2021 Copa América

In this ranking 3 points are awarded for a win, 1 for a draw and 0 for a loss. As per statistical convention in
football, matches decided in extra time are counted as wins and losses, while matches decided by penalty shoot-
outs are counted as draws. Teams are ranked by total points, then by goal difference, then by goals scored.[1]
