This bot uses the undocumented FIFA API's to report on World Cup matches. It will check every 60 seconds for new events. The following events are reported:

• Goals scored
• Yellow/Red cards
• Substitutions
• Match start/stop
• Penalty kicks missed/scored

1. Setup a new Slack App (https://api.slack.com/apps) with Webhook permission
2. Copy .env.template to .env
3. In .env, change WEBHOOK_URL to point to your Slack webhook
   • If you want to see debug information, which currently pings a heartbeat every hour, also fill in the DEBUG_WEBHOOK url with a Slack webhook and set DEBUG = True
   • You can also set WC_COMPETITION = None in src/fifa.py to get all current FIFA matches and see what the output looks like. Just make sure to change it back to WC_COMPETITION = 17 for world cup only
4. In .env, change CHANNEL to the desired channel in your Slack space
5. Use pip install -r requirements.txt
6. Run python main.py

1. Go to https://slack.com/customize/emoji
2. Enter yellow_card as name
3. Upload card_yellow.png
4. Save emoji

Repeat for red_card and card_red.png
