Matches / exchanges / goals

Can anyone elaborate on the meaning of Matches and Exchanges?

It says, "*Stats means matches, exchanges and goals in World Cup qualification."

Are matches the number of games started and exchanges the number of games subbed into?

Thanks for your help.

However, I noticed that even in some years when World Cup Qualification was not in progress there are statistics available -- what type of competition does a game have to be in order to be counted in the stats?

Yes because we added all official matches played by national teams each year... The allusion to the World Cup seems to be a leftover of the beginnings of the website I guess!
