Many thanks to Steve Wilson, an Aussie mate who lives in Winchester, but who parties all over the place (what do you mean we’re too old?). He sent me a link to a Mozilla add-in that’s transformed how I keep up with the goings on in the football world cup (that’s soccer, in case you’re wondering).
It’s great; I’ve got a sidebar to the left of my screen that gives me the scores for all matches that took/will take place yesterday, today and over the next two days. When a match is on, I get a little pop-up when anything significant happens, i.e. goals and yellow/red cards (is it just me, or are the referees giving yellow cards out all over the place?).
Better still, it comes with a bunch of mini-clips with players like Ronaldinho and Rooney showing some of their fancier footwork.
Right now, the sidebar is telling me that I’ve got less than 30 minutes to wait before Australia take on the mighty Brazil. I’ll be watching that one in a local pub: after the Wallabies stuffed the English rugby team again yesterday, I’ll take revenge where I can get it!
