Denmark-France 2-0

FIFA's site has impressive content. They publish live commentary and live photos during the football (soccer) match. Unfortunately users must refresh the page manually to get the latest (or wait 2 minutes for automatic refresh). Jakob Nielsen, this could be another way to use Flash ... push live commentary into the browser during live events to create a close-to-live experience.

P.S.: FIFA WorldCup site is hosted by Yahoo... creative way to generate traffic for yahoo.com.

Fredrik K.R. Norman: Gotta say I was cheering for the Danish team today... Ever since the Laudrup brothers ruled the pitch, I've had a preference for the open style of Danish football vs. the horrible collectivist machine style used by Norway. Go beat the rest of'em as well! (Except maybe Italy ;-)
