Before kick off Northern Ireland were favourites.
Weighted points put all three pillars on one scale. Each card shows how its number is worked out. One match still carries real luck.
Team Strength at Kickoff
How strong each side was with the tactics they used. Squad quality caps the team. Pitch coverage asks how well the XI covered the nine zones for the chosen style. Tactic unlocks are the philosophy and trait bonuses that actually fired. Philosophy fit measures how well the XI met the chosen style's trait requirements. Opponent-specific edges (matchups, home advantage, referee) are scored elsewhere.

Matchup Analysis
Balanced (H) vs Counter Attack (A). No clear tactical edge on paper.
Northern Ireland sends 3 attackers at a 3-man Secret Paradise back line, stretching it to breaking point.
Secret Paradise's 3 defenders have no spare man against Northern Ireland's 3 attackers, so every runner must be tracked.
Northern Ireland's Tighten Wings should blunt away's Wing Plays.
Northern Ireland is tightly marking Secret Paradise's playmaker, shutting down their chief creator.
Secret Paradise has a tight-marking assignment to limit the opponent's key player.
Pitch Heat Map
Nine-zone strength snapshot for each side at kickoff. Brighter = stronger in that third and channel. Both grids read from their own team's perspective: rows run attack to defence, and left and right are that team's own. So one side's left attack meets the other side's right defence.
