Euro 2025 - Semifinals Network Graphs

As suggested (https://fulltimesportsfan.wordpress.com/2025/07/14/euro-2025-quarterfinal-network-diagrams/), the sheer number of Spanish and Italian players playing for Barcelona and Italy respectively did distort the graph.

It's also distorting the semifinal graphs which are much narrower and elongated than usual.

There is a pleasing simplicity to the community view, with each country being its own community.

Unsurprisingly, the largest of the paler red circles reflects the club teams with the most representatives left, Barcelona with 10, Bayern Munich with 9 and Juventus with 8.

Germany are the national team closest to the centre, because of Italy pulling them up. For the same reason, Bayern Munich are the club team closest to the centre.

I have seen all of the semi-finalists except England play (and I am banned from watching them lest I be an ill omen).

I am guessing that Spain will beat Germany but that German team have a certain admirable determination about them.
