ABOUT THIS SITE
In this site I intend to offer a thorough and accurate information on the football and basketball competitions of the highest level played in Europe (Spanish and European tournaments) and the world (World Cup). Since a full description of all the international competitions is out of my possibilities, I decided to concentrate my efforts on Spain (my home country), UEFA competitions and, of course, World Cup.
With that purpose, mi intention is to combine two of my passions: the compilation of sport scores and data and linguistics. During the last years I felt the need to apply my linguistic knowledge to the standardization of a sport terminology more confuse and imprecise every time, in which names of teams ad players are "localized" in the different target languages with no respect whatever for their original spelling, out of ignorance or (what's worse) sheer indifference.
But, why transcribing proper names of players and teams in their original language? That's simple, by it's own definition: proper names are not common words that can be translated from one language to another, but fixed labels attached to single individuals. In the European competitions menu I will address this subject in detail.
Therefore, I've decided to work on a large football and basketball database (not just a simple data warehouse) in which, besides collecting historical information and statistics, I'll try to use a standardized terminology (which means neutral) that can serve as a reference for any fan.
While names of players and teams will be transcribed in their original languages to the extent of my knowledge and sources (I'll appreciate your help in this), the two idioms I will use for the general composition of my files are Spanish and English, indistinctly, depending on the contents and the expected visitors. The enormous amount of information makes almost unfeasible to translate every document into two different languages. In any case, since most of the data are scores and stats, they will be easily understood.
Finally, I'd like to add that my ultimate intention is not to publish a general website of sport news, with a full coverage and updates of current competitions, like UEFA, FIBA, Euroleague, sport newspapers... I have neither the means nor the time for that. What I want is to create a historical database with a kind of information you won't usually find in general sport sites, unified and standardized from a linguistic point of view. My ultimate wish is that all this effort could serve to arouse a higher interest in accurate information and a bigger respect for the different languages, the same we want for our own.

WHAT YOU CAN FIND HERE
Why is this site different from many others? Because here you can find a kind of information accurate not only from the statistical point of view, but also historically comprehensive and linguistically standardized. What I mean by the latter is that the same player or team will always have the same spelling in all the different competitions where they appear, i.e. the official name of teams and the real "nickname" of players (not just his family name), always taking into account the original language spelling (not just an English translation). In this respect, this website is the only multilanguage database covering sport history and statistics.
Following is a brief description of the statistical information that I include in the different competitions (although in some cases it's missing–which is marked in red–because I just couldn't find it anywhere or it might be updated later):
WORLD LANGUAGES (IN PROGRESS)
Genetic-typological classification of the over 6,000 languages spoken in the world (both present and extinct), with information about their history, writing system, pronunciation, grammar and sample text. This description of the world languages is intended to support and justify the linguistic criterion used in the sport files of this website (especially in regard to the transcription of non-Latin alphabets).
