The Road To South Africa: How England Qualified, Goal By Goal
Click the image to enlarge.
Less than an hour before kick off, and we thought it’d be a good idea to show the England boys exactly how they got to South Africa, goal by goal, in a bid to inspire them against the USA tonight. To do so, we’ve collaborated with top graphic artist Michael Deal, who’s taken the raw data of the goals England scored and importantly, where they scored them, and turned it into these cracking visuals. Lets hope that we see plenty of similar action tonight!

Thanks for sharing new techniques.
