As a Chicago-born data analyst with a Northwestern MBA and a love for basketball aesthetics, I’ve mapped the Euro Cup’s B-group survival math like a playoff thriller. With Madrid vs. BotaFargo and Seattle Bay vs. Paris Saint-Erman on the line, goal differential and head-to-head results decide everything—no guesswork, just numbers. If Madrid loses by 3+, they’re out. If they draw? Paris advances on head-to-head. This isn’t luck—it’s linear algebra dressed in leather boots.
