World soccer looks like chaos. It isn't — it's a pyramid. The World Cup sits at the peak, six confederations act as the conferences, and every club runs on two parallel tracks: the club season and the country season. Solid lines = qualify by finishing high. Gold dashed = qualify by winning something. Gray dashed = promotion & relegation. Hover any box to trace it; click for the plain-English briefing. Two confederations are fully wired so far: click UEFA (Europe) or Concacaf (home of the USMNT) to drill in.
