for the World Cup and most other leagues, the platonic ideal of speed/freshness, information density, and legibility, is https://plaintextsports.com https://plaintextsports.com .
It has a great World Cup presentation which can display by group or by date https://plaintextsports.com/world-cup/2022/schedule https://plaintextsports.com/world-cup/2022/schedule . The page sizes are something like 3 magnitudes smaller than ESPN.com, especially great for when you're actually at the game and the network is bogged down in the arena.

- eddieroger 4y agoI'm curious how you loaded this in the terminal, because for me, curl spit out a ton of HTML and very little plain text. I suppose with curl only asking for `/`, I should be happy with what I got, but even when asking for plain text, I got HTML. I didn't mean to go all "no true Scotsman" on this reply, but I wish something called Plain Text Sports had actually returned plain text to me in a terminal.
