English term or phrase: 3 SOCCER TERMS ABBREVIATIONS: WINS, DRAWS, LOSSES
Hello,

I wanted your help with the following issue:

We are creating a soccer app which will show a team's standings. In English, the table will show the following letters:
1. W (for the number of wins)
2. D (for the number of draws)
3. L (for the number of losses).

I wanted to ask about the letters in German to reflect the same.

Thank you so much!
