World Cup 2026 — Team Strength
Football · World Cup 2026 · Team Ratings
How strong is each squad?
One headline number per team: Tiento — goals better (or worse) than the average World Cup side on a neutral pitch, blended from our four independent rating systems and named for the ball that played the first half of the first-ever World Cup final. The full seven-system table sits underneath. Panna / offense / defense aggregate squad player ratings; EPR converts to per-90 expected possession value; PSR captures box-score skills; Elo is the classic team rating; BT compresses the match model’s predictions for all 1,128 possible pairings into a single Bradley-Terry strength per team (host advantage for the USA, Canada and Mexico is baked in — it reads as expected strength at this tournament).
