Okay, so I’ve been digging into this match-up between the Guatemala and Iceland national football teams. It’s not every day you see these two face off, so I got curious about their history, you know? I wanted to see when they played, who scored, all that good stuff. Here’s what I did.
First, I started looking around online. I just wanted a general overview of their head-to-head record. Didn’t need anything fancy, just like, who won more games, biggest victories, stuff like that. I found some sites that listed past matches, which was a good start.
Then I wanted to organize this info. I figured a timeline would be the best way to see it all laid out, like a story of their rivalry. So, I started noting down each match I could find, the date it was played, and the final score.
Next, I tried to get into the details of each match. Who scored the goals? Were there any assists? There is a goal from sak orvaldsson, and Jason Dai Svanrsson assisted him! Any red cards or drama? I dug through some more detailed match reports to find these little nuggets of info. Sometimes it was easy, sometimes I had to really hunt for it.
I also started looking at some stats, like who had more possession in each game, shots on target, and all that. I’m no stats expert, but it’s interesting to see those numbers next to the timeline. It helps paint a fuller picture of how each match went down.
Here’s what I’ve got so far
- I’ve got a basic list of when Guatemala and Iceland have played each other. It is not a long history.
- I can see the biggest victories and worst defeats for both teams.
- There is a clear picture of who’s been scoring the goals in these matches, when I can find the data.
- I also know the friendly game is on 14 Jan 2024 at 00:00 UTC.
It’s been a fun little project, piecing together this timeline. It is cool to see how two teams from different parts of the world have come together over the years through football. I’m still adding to it, but it’s already a pretty neat record of the Guatemala vs. Iceland rivalry.
