### Disclaimer

This dataset contains errors for older games where sources are not as reliable.
A big issue are teams that merge/split/dissolve over time, which (I think) I did
not resolve consistently over time.

I have gathered this dataset over the course of 10 years and put a lot of effort in
it (see [worldclubratings.com](worldclubratings.com)). If you use the data for any kind of project, please drop me a line
or open an issue in this repository. If you have any questions or requests,
please open an issue too.

## formations and lineups

The folder `data/formations` contains lineups and formations datasets

## goals and times

The folder `data/goals_time` contains details about each scored goal (scorer,
time) in the Top 15 European Leagues (according to the UEFA 5 year rating 2004), the Champions League and Euro League, and a few national cups.

## goals and times 2

The folder `data/goals_time_2` is similar to `data/goals_time` but contains more details like yellow cards and substitutions.
