Clean, low-clutter design with dense information
From 3 comments
This is great. One huge nitpick with sports stats and standing sites these days (even Google’s which are pretty clean) is the lack of info density. I just want tables with little…
ernestipark on HNSO much more pleasant to look at than the floating tile-based Figma JS nonsense every web developer is pumping out these days. Great job, bookmarked.

Objections
Scores occasionally wrong due to upstream data source errors
From 3 comments
Nice. But please check your data source, it might have a bug. For example: Group E, Germany <-> Japan. End result 1:2, but the game details list 2 goals for each side.

Show full group tables with goals and goal difference
From 2 comments
Nice! But would be also good to show the actual tables and not just the points, maybe even updating live during the matches, since in most cases the points are not the single…
tacker2000 on HNThank you for this great summary! A minor suggestion: groups are so tight this year that global goal average could be useful, maybe in parentheses after the points ?

I’ve been a football fan for nearly 40 years and have never heard the term Bracket related to the game - what does it mean?
