Do you need more of the array?

How do I isolate the "leagues" and "events"? They are not numbered or something like that. So $home = $data_kurz->{league}[0]{events}{event}[0]{homeTeam}{name} works. But I am not supposed to loop through []-elements with a foreach?

My goal is by the way non profit. I am not betting. I am trying to show that betting does not work as the markets are efficient.
