The "freeze_support()" line can be omitted if the program is not going to be frozen to produce an executable.

This is a frequently recurring issue in the undetected-chromedriver repo. See for example, #561. Basically, you have to protect the constructor when you run it from a script.

import soccerdata as sd
if __name__ == '__main__':
    ws = sd.WhoScored(proxy='tor')
