I · The River
Every World Cup in the colours of its winners
Every win of every World Cup, flowing left to right in the colours of the teams that took them — Uruguay in 1930, Brazil’s yellow through the fifties and seventies, the gap of the war, the women’s tournament from 1991 under its own lens. The river thickens as the tournament grows from 18 matches to 104. Hover a tournament to read it; click to step into it. Pick the men’s or the women’s World Cup above.
