The World Cup soccer passing diagrams are great, and I appreciate Dr.
Ali-Hasan for notifying the list. As some of you may know, I've done
some similar mappings for U.S. college basketball in recent years
(although not nearly as elegantly). Most recently, I presented a poster
on this at the 2006 Network Science conference at Indiana University,
and in 2005, I presented an earlier study at Sunbelt. For those
interested, my research page on basketball passing can be accessed by

I just ran across this diagram and figured others might find it
interesting:

"This network shows the passes from every player to those three
team-mates he passes to most frequently. Strength of arcs displays the
number of passes. Size of nodes displays the influence (flowbetweenness)
of a player."
