Request: Module to check world cup fixtures and scores #489

Feature description:

Considering that World Cup 2018 is almost here, it would be great if we can have a module that will tell us today's fixtures and their scores.

Any ideas on how to implement it?

One way would be to scrape websites like fotmob.com. I am not sure if there are any open apis that can be queried.

It would also be nice if there was a way to follow a certain team's fixtures/progress.

Hi @prasad. Scraping Sites can be a way to go but is extremely high maintenance due to the unpredictability of Website Design. A better approach would be to rely on an API which would provide such a feature but most are rate limited when it comes to free usage.
