Nvm. I still prefer for loops in most cases, in some way it's easier to understand for me if I read it some months later. For example the reduce function I would write something like this:

if players.hasOwnProperty player.country
players[ player.country ].push player
return players
playersByCountry= getPlayersByCountry footballPlayers, {France: [], England: [], Spain: []}
