FIFA World Cup statistics by team from 1930 to 2006 visualized with Tableau Software
I have to admit, I am a little late: The FIFA World Cup 2010 in South Africa already started yesterday. And of course there have already been a couple of interesting posts on visualizing the World Cup statistics elsewhere:
Chandoo had a couple of nice posts using Microsoft Excel: FIFA World Cup Excel Spreadsheets, Football Betting Sheet Template and Official FIFA World-cup Soccer Balls since 1930 in an Excel Chart.
Ross Perez provided a very interesting visualization of the History of the World Cup on Tableau’s own blog, focused on winning and tie percentages.
Better late than never. Today’s post includes my 2 cents: a visualization of the FIFA World Cup Statistics since 1930, using Tableau Software and focused on the performance and match statistics per team.
