Ok, guess this was a stupid idea...
considering all the coding and testing work for an app that is useless after just 4 weeks ;-)
BUT:
The more I think about it, the more I realize how much I miss an app for tracking football results of the major national leagues as well as Champions League...
This is really a must have for me!
Who else wants to have a football app?

Well, I tried building one (see http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=47688), but given the sparse response I dropped it (or maybe I should say paused it). I know it doesn't look very sexy, so maybe it killed interest right off the bat?
Indeed, building something for only 4 weeks of fun would be a waste of time, so my app is totally dynamic as you can load your own fixture. Use it for any sports event (well, not really, but still), from now to eternity.

I think the difficult part is finding a free & legal source of data, especially the live data as matches are happening.

I was going to start a thread about this a while ago and flagged the requirement in the thread about football results. I think it is an absolute necessity.

your app looks good, think its a nice start for a World Cup app.
But dont you think an app that retrieves data from an online database makes more sense?
Especially with the goal of having a full blown football app (supporting all major leagues as well as cups) in mind...
I am thinking of an app that allows browsing results, schedules, league tables...Maybe also support for a liveticker functionality!?
I VERY sure there is a great demand for such an app - so come on guys lets do a bit brainstorming and help Magnuslu or any other skilled developer bring us this app and make our N900 even more usefull and enjoyable :-)
Has anyone already thought about creating an app for the FIFA World Cup in Sout Africa???
This app could feature e. g.
- Match and result tracking
- Calendar integration
- WC related news/rss
- ...
