Women's World Cup 2023 - Final Network Diagram

As you can all imagine, full working decorum was maintained at all time between the Australian and English offices for the entirety of Wednesday morning (UK time) and the company messaging system was full of GIFs flying in all directions. 

(We also have the rugby union and cricket World Cups where similar battlelines might be drawn.) 

The network diagrams now look like this: Final-not-lablled Final-labelled The club team closest to the centre are Manchester United. 

Because so many of Spain's players play in Real Madrid and Barcelona, but England have two players playing for Barcelona, England are slightly closer to the centre. 

Barcelona are the team with the most representatives in the final, with 10 players. Next are Real Madrid with 8 and Manchester City with 6. 

Manchester United and Barcelona link the two national teams, with Ona Batlle of Spain, and Mary Earps, Ella Toone, Katie Zelem and Alessia Russo of England playing for Manchester United and Irene Paredes, Aitana Bonmati, Mariona Caldenty, Alexia Putellas, Laia Codina, Maria Perez, Salma Paralluelo and Cata Coll of Spain and Lucy Bronze and Keira Walsh of England playing for Barcelona.

Once a tournament is down to two teams, the community view doesn't give a lot of information, but I'm including them here because it's quite pretty this time. Final-Community-not-Labelled Final-Community-Labelled 

I will be spending Sunday morning hiding from the match so I don't jinx England. I have been informed by colleagues that this is ridiculous. They will thank me if England win.
