football

Euro 2024 Whilst waiting for a delayed flight I managed to update my uefa-ec GitHub repository with new data on the squads at the current European Championships from Wikipedia, and the code to visualise where national team players play their club football using the chordDiagram() function in the circlize R package.

Background I’m loving the magick package at the moment. Reading through the vignette I spotted the image_morph() function. In this post I experiment with the function to build the GIF below that shows the changes in the England football first kit over time, using images from the excellent Historical Football Kits website.
