2010 World Cup: a Twitter timeline
This Infographic charts fans’ use of Twitter hashflags (like #esp or #usa) in their Tweets during the 2010 World Cup, with a background showing Tweets-per-second (TPS) over the same period (June 11-July 11, 2010).
When you look at this graphic, think of it like a soundwave -- the louder and more consistent the “noise,” the bigger the impact in all directions. Countries’ flags represent use of their hashflag. The size of the flag “waves” fluctuate with the frequency & consistency of tweets containing each country’s hashflag.

Your graphic is confusing because all 32 nations competing had either their team or players from their team that were Trending Topics. This graph only focuses on a small portion of the teams playing in the World Cup. I'm not sure why you chose this route.
