World Cup Matches

Chord diagram for all World Cup matches from 1930 to 2014

Project Goal

Explore D3's chord diagrams using World Cup match data. Use Haskell to build JSON parsers.

Visualization should invite interaction to create and answer questions such as:

How many times has Iran competed in a World Cup?

Which teams played the in final in 1986?

Which team scored the most goals in any World Cup?

Why does the 1950 World Cup have 6 final games (and what is the Maracanazo)?

Data source: OpenFootball. There are a few errors. Transform and reduce scripts are built in Haskell, publically available in the source code.

This visualization is created using D3 and Three.js libraries.

TODO

Check all ribbon hovers for strange ET/P No finals in 1954 (Germany Hungary) No finals in 1962 (Chile Brazil), strange Brazil-Czech Cause: teams already played eachother (uh oh) Solution: Add "multi" flag to something. Split diagram harder. Redraw chords within arc to have new ones. tweet it!
