According to Espn.

Background

In the grading process, factors such as teams' performance, coach's decisions, and the impact of injuries are primarily considered. This approach provides the teams with the necessary cues to improve their performance.

Why this matters

After the World Cup ends, 47 teams will be graded based on their performance, which will affect their season outlook. This grading system teaches teams the lessons they need to evaluate their performance and improve in the future.

Highlights

  • Grade for each team that exited after the World Cup — 47 teams.
  • We have implemented the grading criteria, factors and assessment process that we will assign to the 47 teams that emerge after the end of the World Cup 2026.
  • Grades for every team eliminated from the World Cu...

When the World Cup 2026 officially ends, there will be a total of 47 teams eliminated from the tournament. In this article we will clarify how we are going to assign grades to those 47 teams, what our evaluation process is, and what are the key criteria behind these grades.

Our evaluation procedure

We evaluate each team based on the same parameters: early expectations (pre-tournament performance, FIFA ranking), difficulty of group draw, direct performance in matches, number of goals, defensive over/underperformance, coach's decisions and impact of injuries. Together, these factors can be used to classify a team as "exceeding expectations", "exactly equal to expectations", or "not exceeding expectations".

Grading scale

Our grading is done on an A–F scale, but we also go deeper: an A grade means that the tournament performed clearly better than pre-tournament expectations; B means strong performance but an indication that some future minimum milestones have been missed; C stands for always being right with hopes; Grades like D,E,F come from disappointing performance or team losses due to playing plan, coach changes, or key player injuries.

Which items weigh more?

  • The position obtained in the points table in the group stage and the consistency shown in the game
  • Goal or defensive performance in major matches
  • Coach strategies, transfers, and decisions made during the match
  • Individual proposals of anti-owned players or the effect of their injury
  • Group Type Fixtures: If found to be stuck in a critical group it will also be considered in our assessment.

Lessons and dissemination

Every team learns at least one lesson: some teams get their hopes up by showcasing the talent in their youth; Others are frustrated that teams don't capitalize on opportunities. This grading review gives fans, coaches and pathfinders a clearer picture of the strengths and weaknesses of those teams.

What can we see in the next article?

In this series, we'll provide a complete list with an individual grade for each emerging team — explaining the expectations, the main reasons, and the main evidence behind this grade as each team introduces it. For fans, this is more than a series of six-five paragraphs of simple analysis, it is a comprehensive report that shows the correlation of the tournament.

In the report you have to choose

Share your opinion on which team you think has exceeded expectations or which team you think has disappointed in the comments. We analyze each team and provide our grading explanation along with fact-based reports — taking into account goals scored in matches, player performances, coach decisions and the impact of group fixtures.

In summary, we will give you a better understanding of the tournament by giving you the logic behind the grades and a brief reasoning behind our predictions for the 47 teams after the end of the World Cup. Stay tuned for upcoming updates.

What happens next

The grades assigned to each team may affect their performance in subsequent tournaments. Teams can review their strategies and make necessary changes to prepare for the next World Cup.
