First of all these are soccer stats, not football at all. So I call B.S.

Secondly, in all seriousness... While pretty, they are quite hard to make any actual use of. Things that should be compared are far from each other and oriented differently making them difficult to compare. Trends are hard to notice because everything is so widely spaced. The losing team score is too faint so it fades from the vision.

But yes, it is pretty.

Funnily enough, in most countries where 'soccer' is popular, it is called by some local direct translation of the word football: football (UK, France), futbol (Latin America, Spain), and Fußball (Germany). And this makes sense, because in 'soccer', the ball is mostly played with the foot. American Football, on the other hand, has the ball mostly played with the hand and only the USA refers to the game as 'soccer', which is an anachronism stemming from the English turn-of-the-century phrase "Association Football" - now long defunct in its homeland. And that shows how often Americans speak English that originated in England but is no longer used there, having been supplanted by continentalisms over the course of decades and centuries - see http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/adventure-of-english/

Of course, you're stuck as to what to call American Football, because handball is now a completely different sport that is popular in central europe, but never really cracked the anglosphere.

Completely off-topic, I know, but interesting nonetheless. There's probably some analogy that can be drawn here between common names for things and the various display ports that are used and fail to be standardised upon, but I am too tired to find it :-)

How about American Rugby?

It's called Gridiron.

Thanks for the feedback.

Good point with regard to the trends being hard to spot because the games are laid out by kickoff date/time. I may add a toggle to turn that on/off which should make trends easier to spot.

I didn't test on many displays so it's possible that the losing opacity is too light on some displays.

I agree. This is a good start!

I would love to see the teams closer together to get a quicker sense of comparison. The nice thing about d3 is it makes it fairly easy to add interaction, so giving the user an option to re-layout would be a cool addition.
