Algorithm

• Every day, check what games are being played. If the selected team is playing that day, record the time that the game will start.
• Once the game has started, every 3 seconds, pull from the api and check the scores.
• If the selected team has scored, trigger the goal light.
• At the end of the game, trigger the goal light if the selected team has won.
