“groovy mother...”

“A heartfelt appreciation of one of the finest headbutts ever thrown.” A detailed review of Zidane’s headbutt during the world cup final.

3D animated replays of all World Cup goals. Have fun switching perspectives, and see what it’s like to be a goalie during a penalty shootout.

Fascinating bitchfest on the BBC discussion site around Scottish folks not supporting England in international sporting events. Interestingly, most of the kneejerk racist comments are from the English, accusing Scots, amongst other things, of being “bitter miserable idiots”.

I’d been watching games with the TV volume turned down low, the commentators were so dreadful. Switching to Univision, though, is a masterful idea, and one I’ll probably emulate at the weekend.

‘telnet ascii-wm.net 2006’ to get a realtime ASCII art stream of World Cup matches.

Firefox extension which adds football scores to your statusbar. Can someone do a baseball version of this?

Fantasy World Cup may be no more, but Baddiel & Skinner are doing free podcasts. I look forward to the one following England getting knocked-out. Should be fun.

Wow, the Beeb are streaming live video of all their World Cup coverage. Geo-limited to the UK only, but still, that’s a lot of bits to shuffle. I can’t imagine office IT folks are particularly thrilled about this move!
