<p>Football Unites the World</p><p><strong>Description: </strong>Since 1930, the FIFA World Cup matches have delivered record-breaking television audiences across the globe, proving football's unique ability to unite millions of fans. But of course, with such an audience, many questions and debates spark up as well. The answer to every debate you’ve ever had with a friend about the history of football is hidden somewhere in the data. Hence, you want to use historic FIFA World Cup data to build an interactive composite view that allows you to explore the history for yourself and find the answers.&nbsp;</p><p>For this challenge, you will be using the <strong>Fjelstul World Cup Database</strong> which is a comprehensive database containing 27 <em>.csv</em> files about the FIFA World Cup that covers all men's and women's tournaments. The goal of this challenge is to build an interactive composite view using KNIME's <strong>View </strong>and <strong>Widget </strong>nodes.&nbsp;</p><p>A great place to begin your exploration is with the <em>tournament-standings.csv</em> and <em>award-winners.csv</em> files. But don't feel restricted. You are free to use any of the datasets available in the GitHub repository. Whether you choose to combine datasets to tell a story of football history or focus on a very specific statistical question, the choice is yours. Here are some questions to get you thinking:</p><ul><li><p>Which nation holds the record for the most titles?</p></li><li><p>Has any nation ever won back-to-back titles? Who and when?&nbsp;</p></li><li><p>Who are considered the tournament's top players and in which years?</p></li><li><p>Who won the Golden Boot in the 2022 Men's World Cup?</p></li><li><p>How has the total number of goals per match changed over the decades?&nbsp;</p></li></ul><p>Let your creativity flow!</p>
