Lithuanian lyrics Lietuva, Tėvyne mūsų, Tu didvyrių žeme, Iš praeities Tavo sūnūs Te stiprybę semia. Tegul Tavo vaikai eina Vien takais dorybės, Tegul dirba Tavo naudai Ir žmonių gėrybei. Tegul saulė Lietuvoj Tamsumas prašalina, Ir šviesa, ir tiesa Mūs žingsnius telydi. Tegul meilė Lietuvos Dega mūsų širdyse, Vardan tos Lietuvos Vienybė težydi! English translation Lithuania, our homeland, Land of worshiped heroes! Let your sons draw their strength From our past experience. Let your children always follow Only roads of virtue, May your own, mankind’s well-being Be the goals they work for. May the sun above our land Bannish darkening clouds around Light and truth all along Guide our steps forever. May the love of Lithuania Brightly burn in our hearts. For the sake this land Let unity blossom.

Newest first, from Lithuania'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.

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.

30 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.
