Inspiration

This dataset is inspired by the film "Moneyball" which make me want to build a dataset that can be utilized to do a football analytics by looking at several information especially the event (Commentary) and one thing that I can provide to you my fellow data enthusiasts is the weekly update of the dataset which happens (hopefully) every monday.

Please feel free to give feedback on the dataset, what can be improved, what data should be added, etc.
