As the UEFA Euro 202(0/1) is going on, I was inspired to check out a dataset of all international men’s football matches since the dawn of time. This post goes over some questions I had for the dataset, and how I approached the analysis with my recent macro package DataFrameMacros.jl. Plotting is done with AlgebraOfGraphics.jl, which is a super useful grammar-of-graphics style package building on Makie.jl, which I’m a co-author of and which is therefore my preferred plotting package.
