Fans watch the World Cup; coaches see the World Cup.
Learn lessons from this summer’s World Cup and improve your ability to quickly recognise patterns in team and player performance with the analysis framework presented in this course.
Last summer, Raymond Verheijen analysed 2026 World Cup games at two levels: team intentions and individual intentions. He will share his ability to recognise the same patterns in different playing styles. Game by game, pattern by pattern. In particular, he will analyse defending tactical concepts for 1-5-4-1, 1-5-3-2, 1-4-4-2, 1-4-3-3 and 1-3-4-3 performance by Spain, Argentina, France and England amongst other countries. Raymond will pay special attention to the individual player analysis of top players like Rodri, Messi, Kane and M’Bappe amongst other World Cup players.
By the end of the course, you will see more of what you are watching.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
After completing this course, you will be able to:
- Identify a team’s strengths and weaknesses before the end of the first half, so you can make adjustments at half-time.
- Analyse individual players within their team context, so you can amplify or reduce their impact on the game.
- Use team intentions and individual intentions as a structured analytical framework so you can recognise even stronger patterns within teams and players between games.
- Distinguish between what a team is trying to do and what individual players actually do.
- Apply the same tactical analysis framework Raymond Verheijen has used across 4 World Cups and 4 European Championships, reaching four semi-finals and one final.
