Ugh I struggled to find something like this before I manually built the DB for http://wcfixtures.co.uk Dammit!

Likewise for http://sturob.com/wc14/

We should aim to do better at collaborating on this sort of thing - before the tournament starts.

That's a great picture. High information density but easy to read.

Alex and sturob, those are both gorgeous, guys!

I loved the 9x9 grid for displaying group matches.

I've much enjoyed your illustration throughout the group matches. Interestingly, I've shared it with others and they all fell silent. But once I explained it to them they liked it a lot and shared it with others. Who also fell silent. For many people it seems it's too much information/impenetrable. For me it was a puzzle to solve (as I wasn't current on current round-robin protocol). Really good work. Keep it up and see you in 4 years!

I love your site design!

Agreed. It is really unique. Nice work.

This is the best world cup site by far! Thanks a lot for sharing!

Awesome design!

Care to share some stats on visits and where they come from? I love the site!

Great site, but timezone is 8 hrs off for me.

Well, it is a .co.uk site.

But there is this thing called timezone support. Even JS can handle it.

It was built for UK users (.co.uk), I wasn't up for researching the TV channels of every country!

Yeah I get that it's co.uk, but with one small adjustment (just displaying the local timezone in JS) it could be used by people all over the world :)

No need for researching TV channels, the games are broadcast instantly in every country.
