You are doing this the really hard way, I think.
If you read the book a bit more you will discover web2py's built-in forms.
Probably you should use SQLFORM.
This means you do all the coding in the controller. Behind the scenes,
SQLFORM will create a variable which contains the HTML to display the form,
and it also includes the logic to update the database table.
While you are developing, you can rely on the "developer" or generic views,
which means you don't even need to worry about making a view until you are
ready.
In other words, you can do all of this in one line (in the controller)
form = SQLFORM(db.matches)
(assuming you have setup up your table definition well).
