The 2026 big soccer tournament, in clichés.

By analyzing every pre- and post-match press conference delivered by the tournament’s national team managers, the AI-powered tracker will reveal which coaches bring fresh thinking to the microphone and which rely on football’s most familiar clichés.

Inspired by football’s famous xG (expected goals) metric, Sinch has created xC (expected clichés): a score that measures how likely a manager is to rely on football’s most predictable phrases instead of delivering genuine insight.
