XML Team Solutions

Enhance your sports posts with rich, detailed metadata about games, teams, and players, and with live game photos.
SportsPost 2.0 allows WordPress editors to search for player names of athletes in major North American sports leagues, and drop their names directly into their post. These names can then hyperlink to externally hosted Player Profile pages, with expanded news, statistics, and photos of those players.
Bloggers can also optionally register at http://SportsForecaster.com/affiliates to generate advertising revenue from their links.
SportsPost 2.0 also allows editors to search or browse the over 3 million sports photos from Icon Sportswire — a leading sports photo wire service. Selected photos can be inserted directly into any post — without leaving WordPress. Photos can also be imported into WordPress’s Media Library.
Photos are for editorial usage only, and editors must register at IconSportswire.com for an account and login credentials. Photos can licensed using prepaid Credits (no long-term contract necessary), or can be downloaded as part of a monthly subscription package.
SportsPost 2.0 also includes “preview functionality” that allows WordPress administrators to add Sports Widgets from XML Team onto designated locations of any page. Our forthcoming 3.0 release will make it easy to select widgets and drop them in place. Visit the “Support” tab and drop us a message if you’d like more details.
Future versions will allow editors to:
<ul>
<li>Select Sports Widgets that will automatically update your website with current sports coverage.</li>
<li>Identify posts as being Game Previews or Game Recaps for particular sporting events, and then automatically include supplemental game information.</li>
</ul>

SportsTeam Widget is a widget that shows the next match of a game. 
It uses a Custom Post Type for sportsteams, together with a Taxonomy/Term 
for the class/level where the team plays. 
You can add widget to every page anywhere you want and customize it for your needs for every sport – football (soccer), basketball, hockey, tennis, cricket and much more. Just add your team or teams and set up widget settings such as: 
* Widget title 
* Match date 
* Subtitle 
* Is match away (ticker) 
* Class 
* Home Team 
* Home Team result 
* Home Team color 
* Out Team 
* Out Team result 
* Out Team color 
* Background color 
* Text color
But that’s not all! We’ve added a new feature – football livescore widget to add fully automated live scores and results for today from any tournament you want (or all of them at once). Just insert simple shortcode where you want on page and your users will get livescores with real time updates with no need to refresh the page. 
Livescore widget is fully responsive for any screen sizes and has no ads.
<h4>Compatibility</h4>
This plugin is compatible with <a href="https://www.classicpress.net" rel="nofollow ugc">ClassicPress</a>.
<h4>Interaction with External Services</h4>
Sportsteam Widget utilizes the external service 777score.com to obtain up-to-date information about the schedule and results of football matches. 777score.com is a recognized source of sports information trusted by the sports community. This service provides a wide range of information about football, including various leagues, tournaments, and championships from around the world.
The functioning of the 777score.com service is based on delivering real-time data about selected matches, including the match start time, its status, incidents, and the score. Users have the ability to view detailed information about matches, such as goal lists, received cards, and other key events, without the need to refresh the page. This means that data is automatically updated without requiring page reload.
This approach ensures users quick and uninterrupted access to the latest sports data without the effort of manually updating information, allowing them to stay informed about ongoing events in real-time.
