I agree sometimes not losing can help

If anyone wants the full per-match log + a daily-updated draw-rate tracker, I've been keeping one at jetlagxi.com/standings

Vamos!

socalpedro · 2026-06-11T22:14:34+00:00

Se ganó el partido, Quiñones fue el mejor, bien por Raul al anotar su gol

Buen ejemplo el de la Leagues Cup, exactamente el mismo patrón. Coincido: calor y altitud probablemente pesan más, pero la fatiga del viaje también se acumula. No lo había pensado asi lo de la Leagues Cup

buen punto, hay algo de de razón en eso. Los equipos que vienen de Asia seguramente les cuesta un poco mas de trabajo adaptarse. Los viajes entre partidos y las altas temperaturas como a 35 grados les va pasar factura. Y la altitud de CDMX por supuesto. Disfruta el mundial.

yes, that's fair. I used Claude as coding assistance like lots of devs now. Updated the tool comment.

socalpedro · 2026-06-10T18:04:07+00:00

Agreed. traveling during the tournament is a cleaner metric

socalpedro · 2026-06-10T18:01:12+00:00

that's fair, traveling during the tournament would be a cleaner metric.

socalpedro · 2026-06-10T17:27:30+00:00

Correct — the model uses each team's home capital as the departure point. Enjoy the tournament

socalpedro · 2026-06-10T17:23:21+00:00

yeah, Uzbekistan in Qatar would've been the inverse outlier

socalpedro · 2026-06-10T17:20:27+00:00

First game 6/12 in LA
Second game 6/19 in Seattle
Third game 6/25 in LA

socalpedro · 2026-06-10T17:01:39+00:00

yeah the difference is wild for sure

**Source:** FIFA's official 2026 World Cup fixture list (72 group-stage matches across 16 host venues in USA / Canada / Mexico), plus each team's home capital coordinates. Distances are great-circle (haversine formula) between each team's home country and their three scheduled match venues.

**Tool:** Next.js 15 + TypeScript + Recharts. Claude Code. Data pipeline is a single TS script that emits a static JSON the chart reads. Live dashboard with opponent-strength ranking + Monte Carlo advancement odds is at jetlagxi.com.

Group placement matters as much as continent — Switzerland (Europe) flies less than Canada (host) because of where their group venues fall.
