Fifa World Cup 2006 in Visuals

The Soccer World Cup in Germany inspired some media to produce interesting visualizations and infographics: Time for a short overview:

  • Spanish newspaper affiliated elmundo.es has a nice package, presenting players in audio-slideshows and key scenes in flash-based reconstructions.
  • Competitor elpais.es offers animations of the goals combined with the live radio commentary on its animations aggregator page, for example the match Spain vs Tunisia.
  • St. Petersburg Times includes explainations of terms and concepts in its
    soccer interactive.
  • Danish broadcast affiliated dr.dk has a very nice and customizable animation tool called Virtual Replay
    which shows goal scenes in different angles.
  • German ard.de gives a multimedia overview on the 12 stadiums stadiumsincluding panoramic photos.

    There are a lot of facts-and-figures interactives as well, some nice examples:

  • Sydney Morning Herald
  • A Reuters interactive - here on abc.net.au.
  • A dpa infocom interactive - here on faz.net.
  • spiegel.de
  • focus.de
