What a misleading headline. Redesigning the infographics is not redesigning the World Cup.

#12The stoppage time counting down loses information. Seeing 2min/5min is better than seeing "3 min left"
Re: Redesigning The World Cup 2014 Brazil
#13They left out the sponsors and the FIFA logo, which makes it a non-starter. Anybody following the EPL would know that they have their on-screen graphics done very well, especially starting last season. Minimalist but informative (and with sponsors!): http://images.mukki.org/11-08/21/tv_shows/EPL.2011.08.20.Eve... But what football really needs is a way to scratch below the surface and expose casual fans to the tactic…
why clicking on image endup in some casino site with many redirects?

#14Stop with that flat design everywhere.

#15I notice there are no screenshots of these terrible UI's the author mentions. Probably because they are not terrible. They show a clock | team name | score | score | team name. It couldn't get much simpler to understand.

#16Some thoughts:
* Showing colors of jerseys is not necessarily new, ARD and ZDF in Germany are doing this for a long time now.
* I like the round clock BUT! Why are the seconds below minutes? It's confusing. Why does the red bar representing stoppage time grow while the stoppage time itself shrinks (it's a countdown)? Does not work well together imo. What do you display when the game lasts longer than stoppage time? -00:56? And why take the screen estate of seconds for stoppage time? They aren't gone or anything. And I get the intention of "cutting" the clock in half for representing half times, but since the shape is primarily a clock I was wondering why the 30 minute mark is important. I'd cut the clock in quarters and use three of them to display the game's progress (45 min - one half).
* How does this work on low-res TVs? They are still out there and need to be considered.
* Did they explain their icons? What's e.g. the soccer field icon supposed to tell me?
As a whole it doesn't seem to be thought through, sadly.

Yep, a designer that ignores criticism of his work is indeed destined to reach far. /s

#20I'm used to the visual design of ARD/ZDF in Germany. Thoughts:
* One team is "above" the other. This implies ranking between the teams. Who decides who's on top of the other? Imho a bad idea.
* The clock is unnecessarily bloated. I find the added visual markers distracting. The stoppage time is misleading, because additional play time is not a stopwatch or a timer. It is merely a suggestion and while most judges adhere to it, there are some games where additional play time is exceeded. It's not strict as a stopwatch implies.
* Ball possession: While being an interesting statistics, they are usually shown only once during an entire game. This kind of stuff is now easily retrievable during the game on a tablet or smartphone ("second screen"). Some people find the statistics completely unnecessary, because the only relevant statistic is goals, which is always shown anyways. I also don't see how extensive animation in the interface is not distracting.
* Formation screen: Just a different flavor. Nothing worse or better than the current one.
To summarize: Well, it's a suggestion, but I can't see that this is BETTER than the current layout, which the final paragraph implies about this design.
