A cautionary tale
I planned this visualization using the 2014 FIFA World Cup Technical Report, but when the 2018 version came out, some of the data was not included. So I sat down and watched the highlights of all 64 games (with a notepad).
Clearly, I didn’t follow the advice that I give to students: Don’t commit to visualizations before you have the actual data (or are sure you’re getting it). It might never materialize.
