Anyone that knows me knows I'm a complete soccer hooligan. The upcoming World Cup has me more excited than a 4 year old at Disneyland. That's why I was so pleasantly happy to see Google do something really creative when you search for "World Cup":
Clearly Google knows the importance of the World Cup. And for that...I will always use Google.

That’s awesome, nice find
WOW that’s Very Good!
Thanks David.
nice David! ur not the only hooligan ;)
Very nice David. One point: The game’s called football, not soccer.
cool!
i hope to see many goals from Villa, no doubt, this is our year.
Greetings from spain
@Yannick: being an american too, i find that I fall into this quite often. I do try to say football instead of soccer and American football instead of just football, but sometimes many years of growing up in the states (and the south specifically where football/soccer is an alien concept in many places and American football is a way of life) it gets hard to remember that others on the internet may actually not use the same terms.
i said all that for two purposes:1) to repent for calling it soccer on occasion and 2) to defend David for a Freudian slip.
If we’re being pedantic, football hooligans are unpleasant people more interested in destroying things and beating people up than the game of football. This is not the David I know.
Btw, many of the schools here are letting kids out early on Friday so they can get home/wherever in time for the first game, which kicks off at 3pm local time. /That/ my friends is what it means to be a footballing nation :)
I got…a few…jerseys to celebrate my fanhood:

I’m in SA and i can tell u that the excitement has reached fever pitch. Nice to see Google and the world celebrating.
What, no french jersey ? shame on you :D
Here’s a nice calendar http://www.marca.com/deporte/futbol/mundial/sudafrica-2010/calendario-english.html
My productivity will drop for sure. Come on, games at 13:30 and 16:00 here, they’re killing me !
“I got…a few…jerseys to celebrate my fanhood: …”
I’ve just checked it out. A FEW? Hahaha, you are really a “soccer hooligan”, ain’t you?
lol @ the pic, david you need to move to eu man! nothing like going to watch a live game even if its at Anfield
Great catch David. Here in Brazil it shows Goooooooooooool (without the “a”) as expected. I’m rooting for a more offensive and creative footbal on this Wold Cup, so for now it’s either Spain or Holland :) Cheers.
This is a very good idea… Google!!!
Absolute bunch of nerds getting phrases wrong. I wouldve thought that you would have called the ‘World Cup’, ‘Soccer World Series’ instead.
Hahaha Google being creative… again :) I also love how Google changes it’s logo for various events.
Gee, I was talking about Spain and Holland one month ago… if only I had put some money on that :)
