whatson gem - Use $ kickoff to list upcoming football tournaments on command line

[Gerald Bauer]

Hello,

I’ve added another dataset to the whatson gem [1] that lets you list
upcoming football tournaments from around the world. Ever wonder how
many days to the next World Cup? Just type in your shell:

$ kickoff

The command will fetch the event calendar page (from the intertubes)
[2] and print out:
