Words
German lyrics 1. Land der Berge, Land am Strome, Land der Äcker, Land der Dome, Land der Hämmer, zukunftsreich. Heimat, großer Töchter und Söhne, Volk begnadet für das Schöne, Vielgerühmtes Österreich, Vielgerühmtes Österreich! 2. Heiss umfehdet, wild umstritten, Liegst dem Erdteil du inmitten Einem starken Herzen gleich. Hast seit Frühen Ahnentagen Hoher Sendung last getragen, Vielgeprüftes Österreich, Vielgeprüftes Österreich. 3. Mutig in die neuen Zeiten, Frei und gläubig sieh uns schreiten, Arbeitsfroh und hoffnungsreich. Einig lass in Jubelchören Vaterland, dir Treue schwören, Vielgeliebtes Österreich, Vielgeliebtes Österreich. English translation 1. Land of mountains, land on the River, Land of fields, land of spires, Land of hammers, with a rich future, Home of great daughters and sons, A nation blessed by its sense of beauty, Highly praised Austria, highly praised Austria. 2. Strongly fought for, fiercely contested, You are in the centre of the Continent Like a strong heart, You have born since the earliest days The burden of a high mission Much tried Austria, much tried Austria. 3. Watch us striding free and believing, With courage, into new eras, Working cheerfully and full of hope, In jubilant chorus let us take in unity The oath of allegiance to you, our country, Our much beloved Austria, our much beloved Austria.

Newest first, from Austria's own point of view. Home and away are as the record stores them; a fixture the record does not mark neutral is listed as one side's home, which is right for a league round and wrong for a final played at a third ground.

Box is the middle half of the ranked field, line is the median, dot is Austria. The scale is this domain's own and does not compare across the two.

Most similar teams
Teams with too few matches to rate confidently, which are most of the outliers.

Teams that play alike sit close together. The two axes hold 72% of the variation between teams. Component 1 (42%) rises with more average margin and win rate. Component 2 (30%) rises with more high-scoring matches and margin swing.

27 of 66 teams sit too close together to name without covering another team's point, so they are drawn unlabelled. Every dot is still a link to that team, and hovering one names it.
