This package makes 200+ metrics available for players/teams at match and season levels.
Even better: Do you use something other than R for analysis? You can download the scraped data here: github.com/nwslR/nwsldata. Data will update several times a week once the season starts.

🚨 New R package alert! 🚨
I’m over the moon to share that nwslR is back and better than before. The goal is to make #NWSL stats and information accessible to fans and analysts of the league.
Check it out: github.com/nwslR/nwslR

I've been meaning to pick this up for a while now. I'm happy to collaborate with anyone who wants to take this further

Why do old myths from European, African, Asian, Native American, & Aboriginal Australian cultures all tell of the Pleiades, the 7 sisters star cluster, having a lost star?
This paper by astronomers argues that the tales all originate 100k years ago, when a 7th star was visible!
First off, we have the wonderfully appropriate match of Lupus with Wolfsburg in 2010
