I'm designing a social system which looks like facebook but my target audience are on football lovers. The idea is pple can share their football experience,see upcoming football fixtures, be able to predict a man, bet online for a winning team.

Naira Bet has a part of this system where pple can bet online for a match n after the match, thr accounts wld be credited or depited based on the winning team.

I've been able to design/program the social aspect of the system with PHP, MYSQL, Jquery n other web programming language.

What I want assistance or idea of is hw to get football feeds online, in such a way that I wld get the football fixtures on my site in such a way day dat I can captur d fixtures n render them on my web page n after d match, I wld also get another feed from my third-party feeds abt the final score of the matches which wld enable me update my dbase with the match scores..

When dis is achievable I.e
**get fixturs
**get data frm dis feed fixturs 2my Dbase(manU vs Arsenal) as well as d tim of d match
**get result of the match frm my feed (manU 2 vs Arsenal 0) which implies I wld get 2 n 0 frm my feed on this match
*****************************

Like I said be4 I've worked on the social aspect of the system but I want to add the betting aspect of the system with this techniqu

I wld apreciate if som1 could help me with an idea of hw I wld go abt dis I wld be very gratefull to work with any1

God bless us all
