Live Knowledge Graph queries
SPARQL Queries
The bracket is powered by several live queries: a bracket data query fetches all
M73–M104 match info; a group standings query supplies tooltip context and contender
resolution; a disciplinary query totals yellow/red cards (team conduct score); and a
FIFA World Ranking query against urn:fifa:powerrankings supplies the
final tie-breaker. Group order is resolved client-side using the official FIFA tie-breaking
criteria (head-to-head → overall GD/GF → conduct → World Ranking).
