FIFA World Cup 2026 Data Portraits

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

"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."

plus all the claude-isms get old.

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