==Overview==

In match reports, you can see what events happened in a particular match. All [[scoring opportunities]], [[injury|injuries]] and [[cards]] are reported here. [[Possession]] percentages in the 45th and the 90th minute, Tactics [[ratings]] and sector [[ratings]] for both teams appear when the match is finished.

If you click on player ratings under a team name at the right, you can see how well each player played in that match, shown in [[stars]]. If the match is ongoing, the ratings will be absent, and only the events that have happened so far are displayed. Those watching their matches on [[HT-Live]] will see the latest events appear roughly minute-by-minute in red text. Many players love almost nothing as much as the appearance of new 'red text':)

There are a number of other ways to 'watch' your match(es) live. These are being improved by volunteer programmers regularly.

Bear in mind that for the first 5-10minutes of a live game no information will arrive, which is normal.

==Match rating==
After each match you will be able to see both teams' match ratings on the right side of the full commentary text. It may look something like this:

EXAMPLE TEAMNAME F.C.

Player rating and team [[formation]] (click on this to link to 'evil' stars/line up)

Team Attitude: [[Normal]]

Tactic: [[Normal]]

Tactic skill: (no tactic)

[[Midfield]]: weak (high)

[[Right Defence]]: passable (very low)

[[Central Defence]]: inadequate (low)

[[Left Defence]]: weak (high)

[[Right Attack]]: weak (low)

[[Central Attack]]: solid (very low)

[[Left Attack]]: wretched (very high)

----
This gives you an indication of how strong or weak any of the 7 areas of your team play were in the match. If your [[midfield]] was stronger than his (e.g "passable" compared to his "weak") then you will have had more [[possession]] of the ball in the game and thus more chances to score (this is complicated slightly if he played [[Counter_Attack|counter-attacks]]). The defensive and attacking ratings can be compared according to spatial logic, so his [[Left Attack]] strength was pitted against my [[Right Defence]] strength and so on.

Collectively, the ratings are often called [[Attack ratings]] and [[Defence ratings]]

==Rating as a Measure of Overall Team Strength==
Hattrick by default doesn't provide a way to easily express overall strength of a team, in order to compare two teams or assess the progress of a team. The most primitive measure would be a total number of [[stars]] players gained after playing a match. However, comparing stars is a slightly inefficient and possibly deceiving way of recording team strength. Thus, intrepid Hattrickers have found other ways to compare overall team ratings. Some of the more popular options are [[HatStat]]s, [[LoddarStats]] and [[VnukStats]].

Its always worth remembering that an overall rating which is higher than your opponents does not mean that you will win the
match.
