This is impressive for the amount of work put in to formatting the data and making it easy to use in different ways.<p>For details and advanced analytics though, this one is much better: <a href="https://github.com/soccermetrics/soccermetrics-client-py" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/soccermetrics/soccermetrics-client-py</a>
You, my friend, are the best. As a huge soccer fan and a developer, getting this sort of data is really hard unless you shell out hundreds of dollars a month.<p>Already thinking about the apps that will use this! Thank you.
A very cool project, but I have one question/issue.<p>The data format seems to be a custom text format which admittedly I could be wrong about. Is it possible to use TSV or CSV instead since it would be infinitely more useful since it could be directly imported into relational databases, Excel, etc.
Also have a look at this one: <a href="http://www.football-data.co.uk/data.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.football-data.co.uk/data.php</a>
This is an interesting lecture [1] at Linuxwochen Wien 2013 that focuses on the usage of football.db. More data should be put into public domain.<p><a href="https://cfp.linuxwochen.at/en/lww2013/public/events/61" rel="nofollow">https://cfp.linuxwochen.at/en/lww2013/public/events/61</a>
I did something pretty similar, but it seems definitely less comprehensive: <a href="https://github.com/llimllib/soccerdata/" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/llimllib/soccerdata/</a> . Will be using this, thanks!
This is really cool! Does anyone know if there are similar datasets for other sports out there? Even less clean datasets, as long as they have permissive licensing to allow sanitation and republication.
This looks cool. I see Gold Cup and NA Champion's League repos. Is there a plan to add MLS data? I know some people who would be super excited to get baseball-reference.com level data for MLS.
its a shame that this is not being done under the wikidata framework. those guys have been thinking about databases like this for a while, and can be reliably trusted to at least keep it up for a reasonable amount of time.
