About
This dataset comprises tweets related to "GOAT" (Greatest of All Time), specifically focusing on football players such as Messi, Ronaldo, or Mbappé. The data was collected using a daily scheduled script via Tweepy, employing hashtags for targeted football players and "GOAT" as collection criteria. Its primary purpose is to enable analysis to determine which football player is most positively perceived, has a larger follower base, or is more likely to be considered the overall best.
