# Action Types

An action type can be something like a goal, card, dangerous attack. The sub action type gives extra context to that initial action type. i.e. a goal (action type) scored from inside the box (sub action type). Actions data could relate to player actions, such as the number of shots, passes, crosses, challenges, corners, forwards, offsides, or deflections, etc.

Or, team actions, such as the number of kick-offs, goal kicks, throw-ins, corner kicks, free kicks, or penalty kicks, etc.

Or, referee actions, such as the number of goals disallowed, dropped balls, substitutions, cautions or dismissals, etc.

Match data can be:

* The name of the referee
* Which players are within the teams
* Which colors are being worn by the team
* What the environment is like on the given day, i.e. the weather conditions
