And wow! A real page view counter, with under 2000 hits so far! I feel like a kid again.
edit it might be nice to clarify the time zone used in the games.
I'm not that close to Qatar, and I suspect not that close to you either.
It's a complete shitshow any way you look at it.
The international version of the sport is always 5-10 years, tactically, behind the club game, but the week or so most of the big teams have had to truly prepare compared to the usual 3, has ensured almost every team is playing in the same basic style and that the best players are, if not injured, then just exhausted from the hectic season.
- Because it's so hot in Qatar the WC was moved to the winter. This breaks the long standing tradition of doing the WC in the summer.
- In many countries where people actually care about the WC it's cold and rainy in winter. Traditions such watching the WC outside with family and friends obviously cannot exist this time around.
- There is zero football history or tradition in Qatar. Nobody there actually cares about football. Why do the WC there?
- It is very obvious that the only reason why we have a WC in Qatar is corruption. Corrupt people in the FIFA and in western goverments and willingness to bribe and do everything imaginable to get the WC from the Qatari government.
- Qatar now has 8 large and very modern football stadiums in the radius of 50km but the entire country only has less than 3 million people. For camparison London has three times the population but not as many comparable stadiums eventhough London can be considered the world capital of football. Those stadiums will most likely not be really used after the WC.
- It is a known fact that thousands of migrant workers had to die in order for those stadiums to be built.
- Fans are not allowed to wear pride flag colors. Players are not allowed to armbands with pride flag colors because the Qatari government doesn't like it.

2. Why world cup is held in summer? Is it because Europe is cold in winter and Europeans prefer summer. Unfortunately world is not just Europe. Since this is WORLD cup why should it not be held in seasons that is suited where it is hosted?
3.Same as above. Football is popular across world.
4. May be this is to get football more popular in middle East. Why only conduct where it is popular now. Let's conduct where more young people are present.
5. Corruption in FIFA is not new. This is not specific to this world cup.
6. So what. May be Quatar is trying to be a sports destination of MENA. It's their money. Let them spend it the way they want.
7. So has a large number of people died in making the phones, clothes, chocolates, diamond, cofee or anything in Modern world. Do you stop using phones and clothes because of that?
I come from Kerala in india where a large population emigrate to Arab countries including Quatar. Heck even my uncle was there at some point. People go to these places because they pay well. May be not as much as western world would like, but much more than we make here. So i don't give too much importance to the stories about slave labour and everything.
8. Are you coming to watch football or to promote pride culture?
Yes it's hot in quatar. So is the whole MENA. Don't they deserve to see football?
Let Europe do it in summer when it's suitable there. Let quatar do it in winter when it's suitable there..
This is the closest and most accesible football worldcup to 1 billion people in India. I am thankful to FIFA for conducting this in Quatar
- The cost of the carnival is over 200 billion usd (compare it for 0.5 billion in US 1994)
- Sexual minorities are persecuted in Qatar and FIFA completely downplays this, making the whole organization look ridiculously corrupt.
That should give you a headstart.
Of the actual app/site: Thanks, bookmarked! I also want to see the scores, but dont want anything else to do with this sh*tshow.
I wonder how you could possibly be ok with this. Are you some kind of libertarian?
And how is quatar a slavery. Are they slaves just because they are a monarchy?
Yes quatar is a monarchy and they behave like dictators. But so is Russia where sports competitions are held. So is china where olympicis was held.
Even the prosperity of Europe is made on the back of colonialism.
So is London which is the place where all the criminals from around world move their money into.
So i Switzerland which has a reputation of storing black money.
So is France which still leech Money from Africa.
1. Do you plan to not use petroleum and natural gas which comes mostly from MENA and Russia
2. DO you plan to not use phones made in china which is a dictatorship
Why new reasons come up in every comment rather than any justification for the parent comment at all?
Are you going to watch football or to marry someone?
And should you boycott US also where random people kill innocent children regularly for no reason?
From this discussions in this thread atleast the problem with quatar is nothing of what is mentioned. Westerners can't accept that a nation culturally so different from theris can host an important tournament. They can't accept that people's have different priorities different cultures and different way of looking at life. They can't accept that about 2 billion people of the world are having the most accesible world cup.
In short, they can't accept that world doesent exist just for westerners. Since they can't tell that openly due to being called out for racism, they come up with these reasons..
You think punishing a woman for getting raped is acceptable?
You think punishing someone for being homosexual is acceptable?
You think treating workers building the Worldcup facilities like slaves by working them to death is acceptable?
Please give me straight yes/no answers to those. No more hand-wavy BS and then stating how accessible the Worldcup now is.
It's mind-bending how you can turn around and call criticizing these things a proxy for racism, or that it's just cultural difference.
> And should you boycott US also where random people kill innocent children regularly for no reason?
You're already admitting here how different it is. You say random people, and that's what it is. Individual people or a group of people misbehaving, acting against the law which can and does get prosecuted. Not always unfortunately, and there are systematic problems that need to be addressed, but unlike Qatar's many crimes against humanity, they are not institutionalized and written in law. Again, the West is by far not perfect, but compared to these kind of countries, we've come a very long way.
And any nation including European who has hosted it has done similar bad things in past. So are why outage only now?
Us went ahead and killed thousands of women and children in Iraq. So do you boycott sports in US.
UK still white washes colonialism in Schools. They have not apologized for jalianwalabagh massacre. Do you boycott them.
France still leeches money from poor countries in Africa. Do you boycott them.
And finally quatar and saudi uses slave labour and treats homosexuals badly. Do you boycott petroleum and natural gas.
Then why only boycott world cup in quatar
Many mobiles and textile manufacturing is with slave labour. So is chocolates and cofee. You consume them. So what's new about quatar.
Yes for me accesibility is important. Because my friends can watch it without spending a year of their earnings. If you can conduct World cups in uk is or France or Russia, then you can conduct in quatar too. Regards of openions reeking in hypocrisy and racism
I think the site looks great and is very useful. The one suggestion I have would be to add a bit of space to everything to give it some breathing room.
These are the changes I made: try them out and see what you think.
body { padding: 10px; background: #f0f0f0; }
#groups { grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fill, minmax(350px, 1fr)); }
.group { padding: 10px; margin: 4px; }
.group > span { margin: 0 20px 20px 0; }
.gmatch { padding: 6px 0; }
Just as a curiosity, where you from? Is English your mother-language?
I think the UK equivalent is probably Draw as in “this is the draw for the World Cup”.
Bracket in the UK is something used to hold up shelving.
Just a few thoughts: It could be good to add a `X` a kind of close button to the pop up when you click on a match. It's not entirely intuitive where to click to close it if you're on mobile.
On that line, when you double click on a match (or double tap to enter full screen) it looks very bad on mobile.
This is a very useful website! Thanks.
Event list for match #8 is not in chronological order according to the timestamps. Did you mean it to be? (Entry 4 shuffle up to should come first, then 3 second and the rest seem ok)
EDIT: I have applied a basic fix for it on my end, but there may be instances where it still shows 1-1.
But would be also good to show the actual tables and not just the points, maybe even updating live during the matches, since in most cases the points are not the single thing that decide the outcome, but also goals scored, goal difference etc.
A minor suggestion: groups are so tight this year that global goal average could be useful, maybe in parentheses after the points ?
So minor bug.
Nice job.
The tiebreaker goes this way
- Goal difference
- Total number of goals scored.
- Number of points between teams concerned.
- GD between the teams concerned.
- Team conduct score
- Yellow Card: -1 point
- Indirect Red card (2 Yellows): -3 points
- Direct Red: -4 points
- Yellow and Direct Red: -5 pointsEDIT: added!
Suggestion: Hovering over the detail for a game, is it possible when listing substitutions to see the name of the player replaced as well as the name of the player introduced?
Like an animated visualization of their corruption and money flows that is easily to extend in the future because there’s a lot more to come.
Doesn't seen necessary imo as long as the dates aren't in MM/DD/YYYY format and are in browser's timezone.
