World Cup 2026 - Final Network Visualisation

The unlabelled network graph looks like this: Unlabelled network graph of the teams in the final. Smaller circles representing smaller numbers of interactions are red and the colour moves towards creamy white as the circles get larger. Because we are down to two teams, the two biggest circles are pretty much equidistant. Even without the labels, you can probably guess the big circles are Spain and Argentina ;) 

The labelled graph looks like this: Labelled network graph of the teams in the final. Smaller circles representing smaller numbers of interactions are red and the colour moves towards creamy white as the circles get larger. The large circle on the left is Argentina, the circle on the right is Spain. There are large circles for Atlético Madrid and Barcelona. 

It's the battle of the Atlético Madrid players! 

Atlético Madrid have 9 players left, 3 playing for Spain, 6 for Argentina. 

Barcelona have 8, but they all play for Spain. 

Arsenal and Athletic Bilbao are next, with 3 players each. All 6 of those players play for Spain. 

Atlético Madrid, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and Bayer Leverkusen have players on both teams. 

Chelsea, somehow, are the club team closest to the centre of the diagram. 

No prediction at this stage, the two teams are understandably equidistant.
