I can also only offer my vote, but if you need help and I can help then I will :-)

@magnuslu - I'd expect the BBC will have a stream by the time the world cup starts.

It isn't ideal, but as it's so close to the world cup now hoping for an app might be a waste of energy? I'm trying to be more pragmatic than negative but apologies if you feel I'm being more of the first.

There may well be cut down websites designed for mobile browsing or better rss feeds.

In fact now i think about it, it would be much easier for someone to make a page scraping app in (php/curl, etc) optimised for the n900 than a fully fledged app?

As an interim solution, I've added a QWebView widget with a link to SoccerDB as suggested by fgs. I'm encountering some issues with it at the moment. I'll let you all know if and when I resolve it (together with the 'description' issue that is preventing me from updating to Extras-Devel...).

I agree with you guys, SoccerDB seems to be a good solution to get the data - and the best so far!

However, one downside I see at the moment is that club and league logos are not provided. From my point of view those logos are a must for a decent and "professional" look of the app...
But I am pretty sure that usage of the logos is not free :-( (Well, hope I am wrong on that)

I think the scope of this thread is not reflected by the title anymore.

Could a Mod please change the trhead title to something more appropriate please?

Maybe "[QSportsEvent] FIFA World Cup and Football App" ???

I'll be happy to add other sports as well even though the main focus at the moment is football (i.e., soccer). Do you know of any data source for those?

I'm making some progress on the QWebView, so soon (hopefully later today!) I will update a version which shows games and tables, but it will be 'online only' and not very visually appealing...

On the data feed no good news so far, but I'm still working on it... I'll look at parsing the data from the QWebView if I find no other solution...

Actually, on SoccerDB there are files in '.ts' and '.pdb' format. I've looked at them and they are very 'binary'. If anyone knows how to read them, we'd be done!

Here you can download the executable and source code of Teamstats for Windows Mobile, the application that uses the .ts files. License is GPL, source code language is C#.

After a quick glance, I'd say that the LeagueBinaryFile class (in the src/Core directory) contains full info on file structure.

Thanks!

Didn't think about that...

I've found the file that manipulates the '.ts' file. The core functions are 'LoadTeam' and 'LoadMatch'. I'll see if I can do some reverse engineering into Qt/C++.
