Scraping FIFA World Cup Data
April 27, 2014 ยท View on GitHub
As part of the FIFA Design Hackathon we built this scraper to pull every world cup's result from linguasport.com. This also includes who scored each goal and when, along with which player was booked and when.
This is still work-in-progress.
Key data sources
- FIFA.com has the most in-depth statistics of the lot
- linguasport.com has the result of every match
- soccerworldcumps.com has the results, playoffs, top scorers and final standings across world cups
- opendata.stackexchange.com open data set for 20114 world cup using ruby
