Waka Wakka!!! It’s the 2010 FIFA World Cup! The games have kicked off in South Africa, but depending on your location and time zone, it might be hard to stay tuned and watch your favorite team(s) when working or traveling.
Here are a few helpful sites and ways to take advantage of so that you don’t miss a second.
Before you do anything, it would be best to know when games will be played according to your local time zone. For all game times and scores when posted, keep
FIFA’s match page bookmarked on your desktop, laptop, netbook, smartphone, whatever.
To get started,
ESPN has
almost every medium covered, whether it be text message alerts, streaming games on ESPN 360, or mobile apps for your smartphone. Not only is there an ESPN SportsCenter app for news coverage and stats, but you can also stream games and highlight clips via
ESPN Mobile TV directly on your handheld. ESPN has also launcheda
special ESPN World Cup 2010-edition app for the iPhone/iPod Touch, with a standard free version (includes scores, brackets and direct access to other social networking platforms) or a $7.99 upgrade that involves live radio streaming of all 64 matches.
Other standout mobile app options include the
Slingbox app for the iPhone (which now allows
streaming over AT&T’s 3G network), and
Goal.com’s free application, which is available foriPhone, BlackBerry, Android and Windows Mobile smartphones. Remember that you don’t absolutely need a smartphone to keep yourself briefed on the latest news as many news sites do have text-only versions that you should be able to access even with the most basic mobile browser.
Of course, this guide doesn’t include every possible way to enjoy the World Cup remotely. If you have other suggestions for staying updated with the World Cup in the next few weeks, please share in the comments section!
