I'm looking for a soccer penalty dataset containing as many following fields as possible:

  • name of the player who shot the penalty
  • name of the goalkeeper
  • penalty outcome (success/fail)
  • ball position, i.e. where player placed the ball (center, bottom left, )
  • teams of the player and goalkeeper
  • time of the penalty during the game
  • player's position (attackers/midfield/defenders)
  • datetime of the game
  • competition name

I think FIFA used to keep this level of details on its archived statistics page. But now when you go to the url (http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/archive/) you get a blank page! I found this reference from The Guardian that aggregated the statistics per team going back to 1930 thru 2006 and made available to download as a spreadsheet. It does not have individual player stats:

If somebody can find copies of the archive, Brenna Curley, Iowa State University, wrote a paper (April 2012) for analyzing the dataset using R.
