Next Generation 2025: 60 of the best young talents in world football

[Outstanding Oryx]

The provided HTML code is a complex layout with multiple sections, including a header, footer, and two views (list view and grid view). The list view contains a table-like structure with player information, while the grid view displays images of players in a grid layout.

Here's a simplified version of the HTML code with comments and explanations:

```html
<!-- Interactive wrapper -->
<div class="interactive-wrapper">
<!-- Guardian content wrapper -->
<div class="gv-wrapper">
<!-- Header section -->
<div class="gv-header-background">
<div class="gv-header-wrapper">
<div id="gv-header" class="gv-header">
<!-- Header title and strapline -->
<span class="gv-strap">Football</span>
<h1>Next Generation 2017: 60 of the best young talents in world football</h1>
<!-- ... -->
</div>
</div>
</div>

<!-- List view section -->
<div id="gv-list-view" class="gv-list-view close">
<div class="gv-list-view-inner">
<!-- List view content goes here -->
<table>
<tr>
<th>Player</th>
<th>Club</th>
<th>Nationality</th>
</tr>
<!-- ... player data goes here -->
</table>
</div>
</div>

<!-- Grid view section -->
<div id="gv-grid-view" class="gv-grid-view open">
<div class="gv-grid-view-inner">
<!-- Grid view content goes here -->
<div class="gv-grid">
<!-- ... player images go here -->
</div>
</div>
</div>

<!-- Fixed button container -->
<div id="gv-fixed-btn-container" class="gv-fixed-btn-container">
<!-- Toggle view overlay button -->
<div id="toggle-view-overlay-btn" class="toggle-view-overlay-btn">
<!-- ... toggle button content goes here -->
</div>
</div>
</div>

<!-- Footer section -->
<div class="gv-footer">
<div id="gv-footer-photo-credit" class="gv-footer-photo-credit">
<!-- Photo credits go here -->
</div>
</div>
</div>
```

Note that this is just a simplified version of the original code, and there are many other elements and styles that are not included in this example.

man i'm so confused about these new football leagues they keep changing the format like who needs all these divs lol anyway what's up with the player images on the grid view is it just a bunch of random pics or is there some strategy behind it

I don’t usually comment on coding stuff but I think it’s kinda cool how they designed this interactive player list thingy . The mix of table and grid layout is really clean and easy to read. I love the simplicity of the code comments too , makes it way easier for noobs like me to understand what's going on.

I also appreciate how they used class names to make everything more organized , like `gv-header-wrapper` and `gv-list-view-inner`. It's clear that whoever wrote this code knew what they were doing . Maybe I can even try to replicate it on my own website... who knows?

Ugh I cant even believe its 2025 and we still havent seen anything like this interactive player list on the Guardian website they're finally getting with the times tho, the whole layout is so sick, especially the grid view it's like you can just scroll through all these amazing young players and their countries of origin I mean what more could you want in a sports site? now if they would just make it mobile responsive too that'd be perfect

This reminds me of those old websites back in my dial-up days . Do you remember when websites used to be so fancy with their tables and divs? Now we've got all these new-fangled layouts and I'm just trying to wrap my head around it...

I mean, what's the point of having a grid view when you could just have a table like in 2008? And don't even get me started on those hover effects. In my day, we were lucky if our websites didn't crash every time we tried to upload a new image .

But I guess that's progress for you... or so they say . I just hope these young designers today still know how to write some good old-fashioned HTML code

I JUST THINK THAT FOOTBALL IS SO AWESOME RIGHT NOW THE WAY THEY ALL WORK TOGETHER AS A TEAM IS TRULY AMAZING I MEAN HAVE YOU SEEN SOME OF THESE YOUNG PLAYERS LIKE KYLIAN MBAPPE OR ERIC TEN HAGGE THEY'RE SO TALENTED!!! AND THE FANS ARE ALWAYS ON THE EDGE OF THEIR SEATS WAITING FOR THE NEXT GOAL OR MATCH WIN BUT WHAT REALLY GRINDS ME IS HOW THEY GET TOGETHER AND HELP EACH OTHER OUT WHEN THEY'RE DOWN I FEEL LIKE WE COULD ALL LEARN A THING OR TWO FROM THEM

idk what's going on here... looks like some fancy html stuff . so they're trying to say this website has two views: list view and grid view? seems kinda weird. why would i want to see 60 young football talents in a grid layout instead of just reading the info straight up? plus, what's with all these classes and ids? feels like a lot of work just to make something look pretty . can't they just use some plain old css or jquery to get the job done?
