World Cup Blog Factory

in Uncategorized

Soccer I am crazy about football since I scored my first goal at the age of 8 in an intramural game. I was like every kid playing soccer who dream that one day they could make it to the big league. For one, I fantasized of playing in the FIFA World Cup Finals which is not likely to happen anymore.

Anyways, my craziness and love for FIFA World Cup is fulfilled through blogging which is the primary motivation for putting this site up.

My blogging goal is a three fold attach for this month of June.

1. Blog here at Sporati – I want to blog and report as many games as possible here in Sporati. I will do my best to cover all 64 games and report what is happening to them.

2. Sporati – the goal of this site is to serve as a portal to all my sports blogs and at the same time to list and blog about gears, gadgets and equipments all related to sports. And since it is the World Cup I am looking to post a lot of great content in it.

3. Soccerati – this is my player development blog via B5Media and I hope to highlight the high and lows of the soccer players during the Finals.

This seems to be an easy goal but given there are 32 countries, 64 games and over 936 players it is harder than you can imagine. Nevertheless, I will be a blog world cup factory for the next 30 days. Nothing Is Impossible!

Heal Rooney Campaign

in Group, Team & Standings

People are praying and wishing Wayne Rooney will make it in time for the FIFA World Cup competition especially when they promised Prince Williams the Finals.

I for one would like to see Wayne Rooney because he simply is astounding and a player of his caliber deserve to represent his country in the field and not on casual uniform working as a cheerleader. If Luckott made the history books playing for his country, it is not fair to see Rooney on the bench. Life is not fair and so give us some break and get him there on the field.

Fair enough. His exciting and powerful timely kicks going to the net is needed by a team facing perhaps the strongest Brazil team we have seen in years.

Do you agree? If yes send out your healing message to Wayne Rooney over at Heal Rooney campaign.

C’mon guys, even if you don’t route for England it would be fitting to see your team win or lose against a player like Wayne Rooney. Go and send your healing messages.

Promise to the Prince

in News & Features

This is ridiculous. England promised Prince Williams they will bring back FIFA World Cup to their country during his visit to the team’s training session on Thursday.

Williams is the president of the Football Association and as such wished the team all the best and has assured the team their country is 150 percent behind them.

He stressed that bringing the World Cup to their country shall bring everyone together. That should be expected since the greatest sporting event is seen like a religion to most of the countries participating and shall bring any country together once the Finals is won.

I doubt if England is anywhere near winning the goal.

A promise is made to be broken after all. They better pray Rooney will play in the competition because they will be needing everything from their Arsenal to get past Brazil.

World Cup on BBC Broadband

in Games, betting & entertainment/News & Features

People over at UK should be happy since BBC will be showing World Cup games online which is the first time it shall happen.

The downside and argument on this is — shown only over at UK and not the rest of the world.

Fair enough, the question right now focus on Expats. How will they be able to watch these shows while outside of UK after all they are paying their broadband bills?

There are only 7 days to go before the World Cup and I would suggest that they act fast and think about their expats by creating a logon screen (Correct me if I am wrong. Does login exists in BBC?) where they can view what is being viewed in UK. Easier said than done. Being an IT Professional, I know how risky this is going to be, next to impossible. I would not roll-out something that has not gone through extensive testing and enough security test attacks. Making a small percentage of expats happy may result in great amounts of damage.

I reckon that these guys should have thought about this way sooner. Come to think of it, expats should not care if they cannot watch the show on internet since they can afford with their large and fat paychecks on pay- per-view schedule from their television. Another angle I see is that internet connection in third world countries, where there are also tons of expats, may have slow internet access and watching on television is better than staring at a slow motion video.

Anyways, in an excerpt of the article:

This means a summer of unprecedented top-quality sport online from the BBC for users in the UK. At Wimbledon there’ll be up to five live interactive video streams of action from around the courts, supplemented by a daily round-up of highlights that’s available for our global audiences too.

From Germany 2006 there’ll be all the BBC games streamed live in video; every single match streamed in audio; and then video highlights on-demand, again for every game.

This reflects us taking seriously what you’ve been saying to us.

You want BBC Sport on the platform and at the time of your choice, and these days a broadcaster can’t rely on simply putting on an event at a fixed time on a conventional tv channel.

Some people will want to watch the afternoon World Cup games on the pc in their office; others will drive home listening to coverage on Five Live or Five Live Sports Extra; and if you’ve been out for the evening you’ll be able to catch up with all the goals at the time you want rather than where we’ve chosen to schedule them.

Speeding Ronaldo

in Uncategorized

Over at BBC a picture of Ronaldo in FIFA World Cup 2002 was posted showing his lean frame in what seemed to be in a speeding motion.

Photographer Ross Kinnaird has this to say (see picture here):

Football…Brazil…Ronaldo – it doesn’t get any better, especially if you’re a sports photographer covering the World Cup finals. Taking pictures of the best footballers in the world and seeing them in print is a massive buzz. You’re so close to the action you can hear a metatarsal crack. All my mates want to swap places with me! This Ronaldo picture shows power and speed in an arty kind of way. Shooting from the stands allows you to see shapes and patterns set against the green grass. I wanted to capture him running from left to right because it looks better in print. To get the shot spot on, I wanted Ronaldo on his own (he’s always tightly marked and not always in the action) so I needed to concentrate on more than just watching the game. It’s all worth the effort when it comes off though! —- Ross Kinnaird

Ronaldo is not as lean as he was four years ago. How fast can we go today?
