If you want this to remain on some side terminal and update constantly, you can of course run "watch worldcup today". And I like that the command actually makes sense :)<p>On a side note, in Gnome terminal, the formatting characters appear as some unicode garbage.
Great job. I have my own mongodb of the games/scores that I update manually (not in real time though).<p>I would love to see something automated like this for the major leagues (La Liga, BPL, Bundesliga, Serie A). I tried my hand at scraping the HTML of different sites, but found out that the main ones guard against that by changing their HTML periodically, so I gave up.<p>Side question: what does HN think in general about scraping data from HTML? There are websites that charge for live sports data, and scraping them seems borderline unethical.
Thanks for using the <a href="http://worldcup.sfg.io" rel="nofollow">http://worldcup.sfg.io</a> API and making something cool! From one tinkerer to another, I salute you :)
Maybe a TZ issue in there somewhere? Australia-Netherlands is still saying "Will be played after 29 seconds from now" with the score at 1-1. I'm in EDT, btw. I bet Brazil does not use daylight time?
