As a World Cup pandemic shakes the world, more and more people are turning online for their slice of action, news and speculation regarding one of the world's greatest sporting events.
Today the BBC proudly reported that their website is the most popular in the world for news regarding the tournament, with more than 1.3million hits in the first week. Not only do the BBC have a "World Cup mode" for their homepage, but also a world cup blog - snippets of news from the corporation's reporters in Germany.
The BBC are also famously streaming the tournament live to those living in the UK. For those of you living outside the UK, ESPN are providing a similar service but only to certain broadband providers.
AOL's attempt simply entitled WorldCupBlog contains news from all 36 nations competing this year. So if you're watching from sunny Trinidad and are sick of news about Rooney's foot, why not check out what's affecting your home team?
British newspaper The Guardian have set up a weblog too, with more of a media-savvy approach to their entries as with most of the paper's ventures. If you're into your critical tongue-in-cheek coverage then you'll find solice here.
Of course one can't forget the official site, FIFA have teamed up with Yahoo this year to bring you an amalgamation of team news, results, fixtures and even a section of the site that integrates into Yahoo's recently-acquired Flickr.
With the online coverage provided, there's no excuse to not be in-the-know when it comes to this year's World Cup!

PS. I'm an American and this is a joke!
But still, USA managed to qualify, congrats! and good luck!
PS: Imagine a game that doesn't contain 2 hours of adverts and only one enforced break in (regular) play.

Currently getting my 'fix' from the news.
I'm new here and wanted to tell you all about my first website. I am new to HTML and PHP and so far I think I have done a good job. I've made my site to help us show our support for England in the World cup. You can see my site here:
http://www.fluent2.com/england/
You can use the site to generate a small support banner to show your support for football and the site will automatically link back to you. You can include the banner on all your websites.
Lots of people have already started to link together to show their support. Lets help England make Footballing history this year!
Thank you
Phantom
