Eight champions. Eighty-three nations. Four hundred and forty-one goals as points of light. Eight interactive modules that turn the men's World Cup into a thing you can play with.
Twenty-two World Cups. Twenty-two titles. Distributed among only eight countries in ninety-six years. No nation outside Europe or South America has ever won.
Each cell is a nation at a World Cup. Gold means they won it. Pink a semi-final. Empty cells mean they didn't qualify. Hover any cell for the story. Click to filter Goal Constellation.
Ninety-six years of leather, polyurethane and PR. From the lace-up brown of Montevideo 1930 to the Al Rihla of Lusail 2022. Each ball has its own story. Hover any one for the full briefing.
We show you a goal. You pick the year. Ten rounds. A perfect score beats nine out of ten football fans. Footage available at the end via YouTube.
Swipe up from the ball to aim and power your shot — curl the swipe to bend it round the keeper. Five kicks. World Cup conversion: 73%. Can you beat it?
Each module is an autonomous interactive piece — single-file, vanilla HTML/CSS/JS, zero dependencies. They share a design language and link back here. New here? Start with The Ledger, the signature piece, then explore the rest in any order.
The upgraded penalty experience lives as its own special game: pure Canvas, deformable net, procedural crowd sound, scoreboard logic and no external libraries.
