Template:2008 AFC standings/doc

Usage
This is a template that was created to easily update every article with the 2008 AFC standings.

Because of the complexities of the tiebreaking rules, anything that is not verifiable may be reverted on grounds of original research. The footnotes listing the tiebreakers are currently displayed using the "lower-alpha" predefined footnote group (see WP:EXPLNOTE).
