Hello Franceso,

Thank you for the answer.

Now find ot how i can find the dict which contains a team.
I thinking now of something like this.

teller = 1
  For wedstrijd in tournooi :
    if wedstrijd['thuis'] != stand ['ploeg'] :
    teller = teller + 1
stand[teller]['wedstrijd'] += 1

Could this work ?
