Mapping the birthplaces of the players inward this year's World Cup has been ane pop subject inward World Cup related maps. The World Cup Birthplaces map uses Google Maps Engine to present where every thespian competing inward the 2014 World Cup was born. However I felt that the 2014 World Cup Players' Places of Birth map, made amongst CartoDB in addition to Kimonlabs, was a meliorate visualization of the same data.

The 2014 World Cup Players' Places of Birth map truly allows yous to select to sentiment merely the birthplaces of players for whatsoever private team. This provides a much less cluttered sentiment of the data, enabling yous run across to a greater extent than clearly the locations where each team's players were born.

The opening game betwixt Brazil in addition to Republic of Croatia was watched yesteryear football game fans roughly the world. In 150 of those countries football game fans also took to Twitter to beak close the game.
