Mapping the World Cup Rosters

Posted on Wednesday, May 24, 2006 at 12:58 PM in ,

I'm pleased to announce a cool mapping application I hacked together this weekend which lets you see on a map where each National Team's player's clubs are located.  At the moment, I've only included England, Spain, the United States, and Mexico but will be adding more teams as the World Cup approaches.

Some things you can do:

  • use the Satellite view to see the stadiums for each club, some have writing on them!
  • learn which teams are concentrated in their domestic league,
  • and learn which teams are concentrated outside their domestic league

Very neat. I checked out some of the German stadiums and according to the satellite images, no one is going to be playing any soccer there soon. But let me assure you that they are all in working condition, and have been for some time now. Also, the stadium in Hannover is further South than the marker indicates.
