power rankings
Every team rated by who they beat and by how much. A rating of +5 means the team has
played about five goals better than an average opponent; 0 is dead-average.
Strength of schedule is built in — beating good teams counts for more.

+2.4 goals per game against an average opponent, ahead of Manchester City (+1.4).
20 teams rated. This is our own rating from results, not a promise.

How it works: we take every completed game, cap blowout margins so one
rout can't own a rating, and solve for the set of ratings where each team's number equals
its average margin plus the average rating of the teams it faced. That is the classic
Simple Rating System. Anyone can check it from public scores, and no one votes.
Ratings recompute daily as results land.
