Yeah no worries. If you have already downloaded it use Sbfiles. Its fast 💨

Andy Rowlinson @numberstorm.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Yeah 💜. Thanks for checking it looks like it works!

That doesn't make sense. The screenshot you posted uses duckdb. Maybe it is an import error for the local cache?

Andy Rowlinson @numberstorm.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

The bit I am unsure about is v11 added defensive_responsibility. But I don't know if the format is 100%. Could you check if that dataframe looks good?

Andy Rowlinson @numberstorm.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Which cell causes install problems? I am a bit confused.

Here is the docs for the API: duckstatsbomb.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ga... Let me know if you try it. You need to change some of the arguments to datasets you have access to.

Here are the docs for the open-data duckstatsbomb.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ga... Let me know if you try it? 😜

I can push the code to pypi later and let you know after. The only thing I am not 100% on is the API as I can't test it myself.

100

Andy Rowlinson @numberstorm.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Did you download it first into one directory? It's pretty neat as duckdb can glob. On my mac I can process the whole dataset in a couple of seconds.

Andy Rowlinson @numberstorm.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Looking for a tester with statsbomb api access. I am planning to release this in the next couple of days. It's pretty neat and works on the open data too.

Andy Rowlinson @numberstorm.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Oh so cool.. the data is already available 🤩🤩

Andy Rowlinson @numberstorm.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

I have been thinking for ages thay players love fc/fifa so getting a view where you can rotate around them might be worthwhile.

Quickly quickly, my free claude sub runs out in January 🤣 That would be awesome. So my ultimate goal would be to get a player view so you could see what the actual player saw.. would need to know which way they are looking too.

Andy Rowlinson @numberstorm.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

I've been trying to follow up where the people are that I mentioned in my follow-up blog post. bsky.app/profile/numb... Two of them ended up at Al-Ittihad... Roger Fernandes and George Ilenikhena... wonder how it'll go.

Andy Rowlinson @numberstorm.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Great, what kind though? Like where you click on players and have lines/ polygons drawn and animated. Or just for watching it?

000

Andy Rowlinson @numberstorm.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

💜 yeah I built it for set pieces then discovered set piece data is not good. I was thinking of pivoting to coach/tactics but wondering if people would want it.

Andy Rowlinson @numberstorm.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Welcome any comments... I don't know if I should continue to develop it.

Anyway trying to recreate live footage from data gives you a feel for what it doesn't capture. Fun exercise. Looking forward to releasing it and seeing if people find it useful.

Andy Rowlinson @numberstorm.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

My best attempt to reconstruct what might have happened from the data 😆. Makes me think that image recognition might have a long way to go.

Andy Rowlinson @numberstorm.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

I ended up with a heuristic that a goalkeeper probably dives if it is X meters away. But in my case, it hits the post twice and the goalkeeper catches it, and the only thing SkillCorner said was the goalkeeper threw it after all those actions. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyE2...

120

Andy Rowlinson @numberstorm.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Interesting, having tried to animate the SkillCorner open data I realized how much was missing particularly goalkeeper attempts. We don't log when a goalkeeper dives and doesn't catch the ball.

Haha baby claude is everywhere you look, even in this essay: "This is not a niche topic; it’s part of an intellectual history" "this is not nonsense—it really means something" I think its the overuse of these phrases that turns you off 😆

Andy Rowlinson @numberstorm.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Reading Claude spewage 🤣. I remember the YOLO V3 report vividly and wish text came out of Claude more like this...

Andy Rowlinson @numberstorm.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

🤩 almost ready for release X2 speed

Andy Rowlinson @numberstorm.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

You can rotate the camera around. It was just a quick demo to show how its going (ai assisted with choosing the angles). I can put it out there when I have wired up the other animations and maybe you guys can tell me if it's useful

110

Andy Rowlinson @numberstorm.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

But if someone has orientation data I would love to hook it up and see the result 😉

100

Andy Rowlinson @numberstorm.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

Its the skill corner tracking data from pysport

111

Andy Rowlinson @numberstorm.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

Nice well here is my progress on it 😜

Andy Rowlinson @numberstorm.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

I actually searched for his, I think he made it in Rust, but I couldn't find it.

100

Andy Rowlinson @numberstorm.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

If anyone is willing to lend some tracking data with player orientation, please DM.

011

Andy Rowlinson @numberstorm.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

I am also working on a side project to create a 3d viewer (not mplsoccer) for tracking data. If anyone happens to want to lend some tracking data with player orientation please get in contact.

141

Andy Rowlinson @numberstorm.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

Yay, now adding team compactness (convex hull) and camera angles.

020

Andy Rowlinson @numberstorm.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

And now some additional features based on @centralwinger.com soccer analytics handbook. Anything else you'd like to see?

150

Andy Rowlinson @numberstorm.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

Next up in mplsoccer... animations using @kubamichalczyk.bsky.social line tracking method 🚀

Andy Rowlinson @numberstorm.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

I think Fable is the first time I used a dictionary to decode it.

020

Andy Rowlinson @numberstorm.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

My next steps are to add animations and a NFL pitch hopefully in time for the big data bowl 🏈

🚀 I just pushed a new mplsoccer version: 1.7.1. It adds curved parameter labels to Radar charts and Pizza charts. Thanks to Palash Gupta for collaborating on this release.

Oh yeah I saw the second link a while back. I had been thinking of porting it to typescript to learn typescript, but maybe there is no need now.
