"Produced on July 9th, 2006, the day of FIFA World Cup Germany 2006 final match between Italy and France, this network shows the passes from every player to those three team-mates he passes to most frequently. Strength of arcs displays the number of passes. Size of nodes displays the influence (flowbetweenness) of a player."

that is cool I would definitely like to discuss this with you in depth!
Eurosport.com used to do something very similar to this. They also have some of the most detailed statistics that one will ever see for soccer. Such as tackling and passing efficiency, the number of passes made, and many individual stats (good passes, bad passes, balls lost, and tackles) that the mainstream media claim is not a part of the sport. Today, for example, Milan had a passing accuracy of 74.8% versus 70.2% for Liverpool.
I find the lack of passes between Veira / Zidane / Makelele pretty fascinating.
retired: anytime. include carlee :-)
steve: do they still do that? I will need to check it out.
rc: nice observation. that is quite odd.
lost balls??? meaning turn overs or are many players getting divorced?
