Really nice world cup visualizations

“We’ve seen a flurry of World Cup visualizations purporting to show how a given match went down. Frankly, they’ve all been pretty weak—almost always way too complex to actually give you any sense of a match’s dynamics.

Which is where this infographic by FastCompany.com contributor Michael Deal, gets things right.

With a minimum amount of data, it gives you a sense of how a match unfolded. Created for the soccer brand Umbro, the chart shows each and every match from the first round. For each match, the green bars show completed passes, blue triangles show shots attempted, and the red dots show goals scored. That’s it.”

Awesome!
