We've built a Neo4j World Cup Graph which you can read more about at worldcup.neo4j.org. Instructions on getting it up and running locally are below.

The import of this data set uses LOAD CSV which was introduced in Neo4j 2.1.2 so you'll need to use that version.

You can download Neo4j 2.1.2 from the Neo4j website.

###Mac / Unix

cd /path/to/where/you/installed/neo4j
./bin/neo4j start

###Windows Launch Neo4j using the desktop application

## Importing the data set

Clone this repository

Set the $WC_DB environment variable to the path to where you've installed Neo4j:

export WC_DB="/path/to/where/you/installed/neo4j"

Run the doit.sh script to import all the data:

./doit.sh

Clear everything in the database and create indexes by running the following cypher statements in Neo4j browser

MATCH n OPTIONAL MATCH (n)-[r]-() DELETE n,r;

CREATE INDEX ON :Match(id);
```

```
CREATE INDEX ON :WorldCup(name);

CREATE INDEX ON :Stadium(stadium);

CREATE INDEX ON :Phase(phase);

CREATE INDEX ON :Country(name);

CREATE INDEX ON :Time(time);

CREATE INDEX ON :MatchNumber(value);

CREATE INDEX ON :Player(id);

CREATE INDEX ON :Player(name);

Copy the contents of the following files into your Neo4j browser window one after the other and run them:

• loadMatches.cyp
• loadSquads.cyp
• loadLineUps.cyp
• loadEvents.cyp
• connectAdjacentWorldCups.cyp
• addGeoLocations.cyp

We're collating interesting queries you can write against the data set in queries.cyp. Try some of them out!

There are 3 steps to getting the data ready for Neo4j:

• Find the pages we want to download e.g. all the matches

ruby scripts/find_matches.rb > data/matches.csv

• Download those pages

# reads from data/matches.csv and downloads into data/matches/
ruby scripts/download_matches.rb

• Create CSV files that we can use with Neo4j's LOAD CSV

# creates data/import/matches.csv
ruby scripts/to_csv
