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.
At the half time break the score was still an agonising 0-0 and during the tv adverts there was a constant push for Internet Marketing of the world cup where so much information is accessible online these days, for example if you had missed any of the previous games you were able to watch them on the internet, being able to view all the live match statistics as well as join an online forum to discuss your own thoughts and post your own comments.
The World Cup has been such a success for South Africa and given the country the boost its needs to attract higher tourism levels.
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.
Talking to a friend after the match who works for a company who specialise in Ecommerce website design he was sure that the Netherlands were going to win the final.
Some of the football sites also have some fantastic web design too!
