on Goals Scored renders (largely English) football information into a variety of visualizations, some trivial, some striking. Test your knowledge of Premier League club crests, or identify goalscorers by the shape of their productivity.

I like how Rooney's productivity pretty much looks like him passed out face first on the pitch.

Because Torres was going to score a hat-trick now, surely, this week, and everyone was going to be impressed how I knew. That''s why I hate America.

Heh. Gooch now has more goals (across all games) on the season than Torres at this point. Which I suppose isn't really relevant to this, but it's still funny.
