# -AsString is the only parameter, so name can be skipped

# Get short list of tomorrow's matches and their times
Get-FIFATomorrow Short

-AsString parameter explanation

If parameter -AsString is not specified, functions return JSON object as provided by parent API.

-AsString Short gives short names for countries and result. For live matches, it will display current match time. If match is not yet started, it will display match start time.

-AsString Full gives full names for countries and result. For live and future matches, it applies the same logic as short.

-AsString Events gives full names for countries and result, followed by chronological list of events from the match.
