I am not expert, but instead of using a spreadsheet I would like to use awk as the example shows, but I would like the DIF to be under DIF and the points under PTS, how can I accomplish this?  Also if it were possible which I do not see why not?  is how can I sort the teams by the ones higher in the table?  

Here is a shot at it.  Assumptions include the team names are
longer than shown so I left room for up to 15 chars and for
the sorting to work as I have it, the names can not have spaces.

awk '
BEGIN { SortCmd = "sort -nr -k 8" }

NR == 1 {
	printf "%-15s %5s %5s %5s %6s %6s %6s %6s\n",
	        "TEAM", "W", "L", "D", "GF", "GA", "DIF", "PTS"
}

NR > 1 {
	dif = $5 - $6
	pts = $2 * 3 + $4
	printf "%-15s %5d %5d %5d %6d %6d %6d %6d\n",
		$1, $2, $3, $4, $5, $6, dif, pts | SortCmd
}
' datafile

I'm unclear about what is needed for your second variation.
It seems that the input data should have numbers in the PKS
column indicating how many extra points they should receive.
In that case, simply adjust the terms calculating "pts"
(something like pts = $2 * 3 + $4 + $7) and the corresponding
arguments to printf.
