In this exercise, you will use all six characteristics to create clusters. The data for this exercise is stored in a Pandas dataframe, fifa. features is the list of these column names and scaled_features is the list of columns which contains their scaled values. The following have been pre-loaded: kmeans, vq from scipy.cluster.vq, matplotlib.pyplot as plt, seaborn as sns.

Before you start the exercise, you may wish to explore scaled_features in the console to check out the list of six scaled columns names.
