Personally I'm not a fan of borderless UI, as an end user. It looks nice. But it's very frustrating for me to use. Knowing where the buttons edge is makes it more intuitive (while using a mouse and fingertips). But that's just my two cents.

While I agree on this particular case, there's no reason for always using all the lines to convey a table. Just one line or divider could be a beautiful and simple solution as well ;)

I work in sports broadcasting look at every score bug/scoreboard. They all have borders shut the fuck up.

And then you suddenly have 30 rows instead of 2, and then you end up with creating some rainbow-table (let's see who catches this joke first / put it in the reply)

Depends on style and design language. However, the first instance was a very bad use of strokes.

shouldn't totally dismiss borders-Zander Whitehurst can add clarity. maybe it's less about removing Zander Whitehurst and more about using Zander Whitehurst wisely.

I'm not sure this design would pass WCAG standards for accessibility.

Great tip, but try to write "Bosnia and Herzegovina" instead of short word like Spain :)

If you need two lines for a match result you're lost already.

Need to use the lightest visual cue that preserves hierarchy and affordance. Spacing, contrast, and grouping must take precedence.
