World Cup Blogging; World Cup Results!

By Aaron Brazell

It’s World Cup time, sports fans. Arguably more popular than the Olympics and definitely better than sex. Well, not quite, but you know it’s popular.

At b5media, we’re a very international organization and we like to contribute to the international community. We’ve got a couple of blogs in the network who are hammering the World Cup this year and we’d like to invite you to join in the fracas.

Over at Soccerati, Milo is approaching the Cup from the perspective of players - the individuals, the roles, the strengths the weaknesses. Will Michael Ballack play? Will England’s hopes be bolstered with Wayne Rooney?

Alan is taking a more surgical approach to the Cup, analyzing the groups, the competitions and what you can expect. Go visit him at The Footie. As a sidenote, if you’re a football fan, joining in the conversation at Alan’s blog is sure to mean someone getting the crap beaten out of them. That’s just how they do as contrvoersy is always the name of the game.

Other bloggers in the network will be covering World Cup soccer, too. So keep your eyes and ears peeled. You never know what you’re going to find. I wonder if we can convince Christine to tell us how to do a World Cup scrap book, or the Video Game channel to review a World Cup video game. Hmmm. Must get to work.

Milo, I tried to come and join the fun, but it seems you have yet to publish my comment from yesterday on Soccerati.

Aaron Brazell on June 10th, 2006 at 15:27

I got ya covered, Scrivs. Milo is well into his weekend now and has probably shut the computer down to watch the games! :)

Kind of hard to liveblog an event with your computer turned off no? Unless you guys have really been working hard on mindposting ;).

Aaron Brazell on June 10th, 2006 at 16:30

Who said anything about liveblogging? ;) That would a whole heck of a lot of blogging through July 9!

Scrivs on June 10th, 2006 at 16:45

Ummmmm, from Soccerati, which seems to have last just through the first half of the first game. 4 more games have been played since for the non-soccer fan out there.

Anyways, I am liveblogging the event right now here…

I will be posting the players that scored the goals. So keep in touch here.

Not giving a hard time at all, just reading it like I see it. And I agree it is a whole heck of a lot of blogging, but again I didn’t say I was liveblogging it.

Scrivs on June 10th, 2006 at 16:51

My apologies, “here” was a link but since it was black I though it was just a bolded word. He is liveblogging the event for another network instead.

My apologies again Aaron.

Aaron Brazell on June 10th, 2006 at 16:56

Ahhh. That would explain it. No worries! :)

I’m really not getting enough sleep with this world cup going on. I wished I was in the German time zone now instead of Asia

I hope that Brazil will perform with improved efficiency in each match and will ultimately take home the cup….One love

A Hearty Life » Heart-to-Heart #12: 2006 FIFA World Cup Soccer Blog and News on June 28th, 2006 at 03:04

[…] This week’s Heart-to-Heart continues with FIFA World Cup fever. Here’s a news snippet I found about U.S. soccer player Eddie Pope via the 2006 FIFA World Cup Soccer Blog and News: A string of injuries and a frightening fainting spell caused by high blood pressure had knocked him off the form that made him arguably the most celebrated defender in U.S. soccer history. Looking ahead to competing for the USA in the 2006 World Cup was the last thing on Pope’s mind. He needed to reboot his system. […]

A Hearty Life » Football Fans Target of Heart Health Studies on June 28th, 2006 at 09:50

[…] You poor World Cup soccer/football fans. Not only do you have to skip work to watch the games and suffer heart break when your team doesn’t do well, you’re also the target of researchers studying the incidence of heart attacks during international football tournaments. In the new FIFA-approved study researchers will receive blood samples from heart attack victims all over Germany watching football at the time of the attack, allowing them to look for traces of stress hormones which can clot the blood.

Genetics and Health » Gene Doping in World Football (Soccer) on June 28th, 2006 at 13:56

[…] The excitement leading up to the FIFA World Cup even got me wearing England white and red today in anticipation of the England vs. Paraguay game. (I currently live in London.) One of the major developments in soccer/football in the run-up to the World Cup included the ratification of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) code by the FIFA Congress. Soccer/football was the last of the Olympic sports to agree to anti-doping. […]
