Code Explanation:

The said query in SQL that selects the country name and counts the number of bookings for each country from the tables 'soccer_country' and 'player_booked'.
The JOIN clause joins the 'soccer_country' table aliased as "a" with the 'player_booked' table aliased as "b" using the country ID from "a" and the team ID from "b".
It then groups the results by country name and orders them in descending order based on the number of bookings so that the country with the most bookings appears first.
