Espn has a feed of soccer events (cards, shots, goals, etc), but that doesn't give you anything close to a complete state-of-the-game in the way that baseball scoring does.

I did a tour of an MLS stadium yesterday and the tour guide was showing some of the equipment the players wear during the game and the _teams_ actually have a moment by moment read out of exactly where all all the players are on the field and what they are doing, where contact is made on the ball, their heart rate and lots of other stuff, and the ball itself has electronics in it in some leagues, so it actually _is_ possible to completely reconstruct a game from a data feed. Just that the feed isn't public.

I was just thinking about this for F1 - someone mentioned plaintextsports but it doesn't seem like F1 is there.

Already thinking about the ways you could represent a race with a text[^1], could be a very interesting project but not sure if there's any APIs.

Sure, there's a few live text commentaries e.g. https://www.motorsport.com/f1/live-text/f1-azerbaijan-gp-liv... . Not quite in a standard format, though...

Lights out and away we go. Max Verstappen wins the Grand Prix!
