International Football Results by Alexander Varlamov

What is the most common score in football matches? The "International Football Results" visualization can answer this question, as it compiles the results of 47,400 international men football matches from 1872 to 2024.

The visualization itself is a heatmap of match results. It can be viewed as a matrix of home/away match scores or as a matrix of unique scores (i.e., a score of 1:0 and 0:1 is considered the same). The heatmap also shows the proportion of matches with a specific score. With such large data, this essentially represents the probability of a particular score.

There is also a hystogram of totals and a time series graph, where you can see the number of matches and totals by year.

Additionally, it is possible to filter matches by countries and tournaments.

In summary, the visualization provides insights into the frequency of specific scores and the probabilities of a match ending with such a score.
