soccernet <- merge(soccer$edges, soccer$vertices, by.x = "home",
                   by.y = "label", all = TRUE)

# create plot
ggplot(data = soccernet, aes(from_id = home, to_id = away)) +
  geom_net(aes(colour = div, group = div), ealpha = .25, layout = 'fruchtermanreingold') +
  facet_wrap(~season) +
  theme_net()
