Nice as an exercise in Pandas and the whole Python data analysis tool chain, the graphics are awesome. As an exercise on football analysis is pretty useless and feeble, and even worst, judging by the author's name (most probably Brazilian or Portuguese) it led his dislike of Argentina to cloud his judgement.

You can perorate all you want about possession and passes completion but if I am a manager and you offer me a first half (who according the author was a Germany slaughter fest) as the Argentinians had it, I will take it every single time. Absent from the analysis are also the clear cut chances of Higuain and Messi (far better from anything than Germany had, despite all the possession) and the controversial disputed ball between Neuer and Higuain. Anyway, it was nice to see the exercise.
