When a gentleman was inspecting my business card in Japan, he remarked that our dreamcatcher logo looked like a soccerball. This was the inspiration for a remix of the Socialtext logo. It would have been left as such, but Matt Mahoney, a bit of a World Cup nut too, suggested in our Socialtext corporate blogs that it could be much more. At the end of the day yesterday, we did what wiki geeks do, make a wiki.
From the homepage of Soccertext:
User Generated Fanaticism
Go rant like a virtual, yet peaceful, hooligan on the Futblog!
Teams
Angola, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Costa Rica, Côte d'Ivoire, Croatia, Czech Republic, Ecuador, England, France, Germany, Ghana, Iran, Italy, Japan, Korea Republic, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Netherlands, Paraguay, Poland, Portugal, Serbia and Montenegro, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Togo, Trinidad and Tobago, Tunisia, Ukraine and USA
Games
Schedules with links to game pages where you can shower your defeated opponents verbal abuse and mocking contumelies. For the defeated, seek not sympathy here, here you will only find soul-crushing blows, raining down on and pummelling what remains of your shattered hopes and ruined dreams. For you, all that awaits, is wailing and gnashing of teeth on a biblical scale.
World Cup 101
For dumbshit Americans who call Football, Soccer, help explain the beautiful game.
You make the call
Think the ref made a mistake? You make the call
World Cup Tickets for Sale
Got tickets to sell, list 'em here and go to jail. Otherwise, share the going rate for each of the games.
German Bailsbondsmen
Rhymes with Klinsmann.
World Cup History
It's a wiki without the Wikipedia, go ahead and make shit up.
Make Fun of the Homeland
Or make fun of Homeland Security, but don't take the fun seriously and you probably should take the latter seriously. Wouldn't suggest otherwise (Hi GW!).
Views expressed are not of any employer, and I personally hope this wiki dies a quick death.
