As I was watching this years 2010 edition of the Fifa World Cup, I realized how much I love the statistics. I couldn't get enough and wanted more. I wanted to get at the raw data and process it to make my own charts, but it just doesn't seem to be available. After briefly (about 10 minutes) looking for jobs at a sports statistics company, I decided to throw together this project, a"World Cup Project". The idea is to compile all the results from all World Cups and produce some cool results. This blog will document the development process, and then I will hopefully have some interesting stats to show...
First interesting stat:
New Zealand was the only undefeated team at the 2010 World Cup, with 3 draws (even the winners Spain lost their first game).
