A Filter Fix, and Two Quiet Hours I Owe You an Apology For
Two Game Statistics filters were being ignored and the comeback filters had their logic reversed. A reader spotted it, it's fixed — but the deploy that shipped the fix hung for about two hours and took the site down with it. Sorry about that.
The Streaks Update Is Late — Here's Why
Five weeks ago I said the Streak Explorer was next. It still hasn't happened, and it won't for a few more weeks: first some groundwork on making the site easier to find, then German, French, Italian and Spanish versions.
The Statistics I Said I Wasn't Adding
Possession, passing, saves and a shot breakdown were already in the database, quietly unused. The filter panel has been rebuilt around them — with sorting, per-section reset and home/away splits on everything, most of it straight from your suggestions.
Pick Several Leagues at Once — and Filter by Country
Another reader suggestion lands: the league picker is now multi-select, there's a country filter sitting above it, and the competition picker has become a dropdown that starts wide open on everything.
Sixteen More Leagues — and This Time We Leave Europe
The last piece of the wider push: sixteen new leagues. Deeper into the British pyramid, four new European top flights, and — .eu domain or not — six of the biggest leagues on other continents, because leaving them out was never really an option.
The Cups Come Home
The domestic knockouts are in — twenty-five of them across eleven countries — and to make room for them, the way you pick competitions just got a lot more flexible. One honest warning about streaks comes with it.
You Asked for Wider — So Here Come the International Club Games
I put the question to you: grow wider or deeper? You answered, and it wasn't close. Every major continental club competition is now on the site — from the Champions League to the OFC.
Streaks and Stats Now Read Full-Time Only
Extra time and penalties no longer sneak into your streaks and result filters — results are now judged on the 90 minutes that count.
One Source: Unified Match Stats and Betting Odds
Extra match statistics for leagues and national teams now live side by side, betting odds land from the Round of 16 onward, and everything runs off a single data source.
One Team, One Click — Following a Fan Suggestion
A reader asked for an easy way to see a single team's recent games. That one request turned into a new team view, a faster route to head-to-head, and national teams loaded by default for the World Cup.
National Teams Arrive — Just in Time for the World Cup
Forty years of international football, a new domestic/national filter, and goal scorers by name — all live ahead of this summer's FIFA World Cup.
New Filter: Standings For Any Period
Pick a league, pick a season, then slice the table to any stretch of that season you like.
More Leagues, As Promised
Two brand-new countries, six lower divisions, and a promise of more before next season.
Two New Filters: Clean Sheets and Comebacks
Dig into locked-down defenses and against-the-odds turnarounds with two fresh filters.
Starting With Europe's Big Six Leagues
Where I'm starting, why these six leagues, and what's coming next.
