Trinity Mirror’s exclusive animated poll updates automatically every time someone has their say on who will top Groups A-H.
Readers choose who they think will win each group from the drop-down menus. The graphics reflect the total number of votes for each team - the further right a player goes, the more votes his team has got.
Votes are recorded instantly but the graphics will take a few seconds to update after a vote is recorded.
At the time of writing the tightest Group is D, with Italy pipping England to top spot, and Uruguay marginally behind the top two.
David Ottewell, Head of Trinity Mirror’s Data Unit, said: “Linking live polls to animations and graphics is something we want to do much more of in the future so this was something of a test.”
“There may be scope to extend this idea beyond sport and into politics, and even data-based games.”
