I really enjoyed the World Cup Semi Final last night between Spain who are the Current Euro Champions against Germany who despite having a young team have been strong throughout the whole tournament, I almost felt I was actually there in the stadium as I my spanish friend was endlessly shouting at the television and thinking he was really the manager.
Whilst the match was at half time I joined an online world cup forum where I could discuss my thoughts on the Spanish goal and who should be subsituted at half time. The World Cup has used Internet marketing to its full potential, not only to display previous games but offer all the stats and figures something that you dont get access to on television.
As thousands of people flock to South Africa for the football World Cup we see a huge rise in economy growth and possible boost in future tourism.
So many online business have made a success throughout the time of the World Cup in South Africa, not only through travel and football merchandise but common accessories such as those noisy trumpets they call a vuvuzela which i saw for sale in my village shop, i didnt buy one as i intend on keeping my friends!
The football stadiums in South Africa were very impressive, especially the one in Durban which was were Spain were to get a suprised 1-0 defeat to Switzerland match. A friend of mine was lucky enough to see that match as he was visiting family down there.
My friend predicts that the Netherlands are in for winning the world cup, because he has holland in the sweepstake at the Ecommerce website design business he works at.
Some of the football sites also have some fantastic web design too!
