Great visualization!

I'm no soccer/football expert, but it seems to me that the most common TV camera shots are from the sideline at midfield. The (effective) camera for these shots are from high above one corner of the field, and the field is (effectively) tilted. This camera-on-the-corner shot may be good in some cases, but when showing the live back-and-forth, I'd prefer it to be in in the standard position of midfield, so as to not favor one team or another

Amazing. The most recent one really conveys the way that England lost yesterday by parking 9 men in the box and expecting that to work against Argentina.

Loved reliving the semifinals with this visualization. The blue battering ram after the 80th minute for yesterday eng arg game is fun.

Doesn't do much to visualise the ref though who certainly had something to do with that win, but yeh the real loss did come in when we swapped our attack for defence, as soon as they got one in we were done at that point

Watching it on Telemundo with Andrés Cantor doing the play-by-play made the officials seem completely neutral by comparison.

it's just not as interesting to me when it's no longer evidence of careful and deep thought paired with high quality execution and skillful craft.

plus all the claude-isms get old.

looks more like blanket wrestling to me (pillow-fight).

Seems like an interesting idea, but the copy has all the hallmarks of being LLM output.

"readable at a glance, honest to the last touch." "every touch, pass, shot and card." "Every ridge, tide and flash is driven by an actual event or measurement from the game."

The seam is who’s on top.

Of course there was going to be a seam somewhere. Albeit not the kind of seam I expected.
