Here is a "cheat sheet" of things to look for when analyzing matches/teams - These are some things to look for: It'll give you a very thorough look at their tendencies with and without the ball, and the various phases within them.
Posted this prior, but I can't even look at my own *images* on the old account. C'est la vie.
To continue off on this: Hopefully using this kind of thing will help you (if you want to get into football analysis as a job/hobby/etc.) develop a keen eye on what to keep an eye on.
A lot is happening at the same time in football, so knowing what to look for helps a ton.
Analyzing goals is fun (I do it myself!) but a lot of what happens are isolated incidents, and the problems are much less nuanced than general phases of play.
The mechanisms for how a team attacks and defends, and how they get goals or prevents them, are 95% of the goal.
As ever - If you want to run stuff by me, ask a question, get feedback. I'll answer every DM I get.
Hopefully I'll be able to provide templates *again* soon which allow you to just drag and drop your analysis into it simply! 👍

#AUT having huge issues breaking #NED first line of pressure: 3v3 (one of the CMs pressing) completely pinning players and unable to get around it.
Sabitzer, who was incredibly dangerous in that left half space is having to drop down to essentially play as a #6.
Just can't stress it enough: Alaba is not a CB for this team.
Some examples of this:
- 3v3 against (i.e. lots of players in the first line) making it difficult to create danger or 2v1s in wide areas that worked so well against Macedonia
- Sabitzer having to vacate halfspaces to get on the ball
- WBs position a hinderance (linked to above)
