This is a great layout, although I would have preferred to see the countries' flags instead of the team logo, but that's just personal preference.

Yeah I agree with flags instead. Love this chart style, though. It’s always used for NFL playoffs and March madness final 16 bracket, and think it works really well in single elimination tournaments. Easy to follow.
One thing I noticed, I think the country names on the bottom should be flipped so they are not upside down. The logos on the bottom half aren’t flipped upside down to face towards the center, so I don’t see why the names should be either.

I would also add that removing the borders or at least reducing their size would look cleaner I think. However I don't want to become a caricature of the sub where even very good maps are nitpicked to oblivion lol

I think that looks cool, but, at a glance? It’s a little wild. France and Morocco both have just single colors for their first section, which doesn’t look great, imo. Also the merge from a singular flag to the Finals match having their own flag is a bit odd, imo.

Like Argentina

I did a version with flags before, and for my liking, logos are much prettier. Being fully aware, that causal fans don't recognize the logos, I added a names on the outside.

Using circular flags might look better

I agree with the team crests, since it also indicates how many prior world cups each has won (an additional piece of data, with no penalty)

I agree with you, logos are better.

Yup, basically that. Although that one has what I wanted, it lacks the satisfying aspect that the one here has.

Also the flag of Croatia is wrong in that one.

As a Croatian, I really really would like to know where they found that flag.
That's actually a Croatian flag from around 1900, when we were part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
