Improving my XML soccer parsing in python

I have something that kinda works but I know there's a much better way to do it somehow and I'd love to hear your opinion.

The below code checks a remote XML file every 5 seconds for x tries and looks for changes to the score in a particular game and outputs a message if the score has changed or not.

What's a better way to do this?

from xml.dom import minidom
import time
import urllib
import urllib2
import requests
url = 'http://ift.tt/1DUTuA9'
r = requests.get(url)
with open("test.xml", "wb") as code:
    code.write(r.content)

#Config
curr_score = 0
playing = 'home'
team = 'Everton'

for x in xrange(1320):
     xmldoc = minidom.parse('test.xml')
     gameplayedat = xmldoc.getElementsByTagName(playing)

     for s in gameplayedat :
          if s.attributes['name'].value == team :
                    if s.attributes['goals'].value > curr_score :
                         print "Score increased " + " - " + s.attributes['goals'].value
                         curr_score = s.attributes['goals'].value
                    else:
                         print "Score the same " + " - " + s.attributes['goals'].value
                         curr_score = s.attributes['goals'].value
     time.sleep(5)

The XML is laid out like this:
