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.
I cannot imagine how online businesses, not just in South Africa, but worldwide have increased the Search Engine Optimisation on there sites to gain sales and further business, especailly anyone selling those noisy trumpets also known as a vuvuzela which I saw being sold in a local supermarket, as if hearing them on the tv isnt bad enough!
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.
Just by working at a Ecommerce website design company my friend has researched that the Netherlands will win the World Cup down to having better previous experience of these games.
Some of the football sites also have some fantastic web design too!
