I’m sure you Americans (aka 90% of my readership) are like in total hate with me right now. I’m sorry, this link is for you.
For you other crazy kids, I’ve got the super awesome calendar. Seriously, it’s super cool, the information is so organized and sane, yet visually pleasing.
Then there’s this:
Running a little over 70 pages, it’s a remarkably in-depth summary of each country in this year’s finals, including football prowess, economic state, and political situation. Furthermore, it provides a primer on the potential hosts of the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, and, unsurprisingly but more than interesting, an examination of economic growth and decline vis-a-vis the international football teams of respective countries.
(Quote from here)
Do numbers and in-depth analysis with lots of charts turn you on drive you mad make you happy? Then look at the dang thing, because it’s awesome. And it has in-depth predictions of who’s going to win.
Also, this is the link to TNR covering the World Cup.
Next in my world cup coverage will probably be me explaining to you who I’m rooting for. It’s complicated… sort of a hierarchical system rather than a “I want X to win”. There may be maths and history lessons involved.

Yes Ashley, I too blog about this “super awesome calender” you spoke about in my blog as well.
I call it a link to an “Interactive World Cup 2010 scorecard” for countries participating, schedule, where and when matches are held. Do check it out and have fun watching the live telecast.
