The World Cup Blog web
site, www.worldcupblog.org, is
a one of a kind site offering unique insight and coverage of all 32 teams
competing in this summer's soccer World Cup in Germany.
Launched by the BootsnAll
Travel Network, World Cup Blog features fan written blogs for teams
from Angola to the United States. For those hungry for news about
their team and the World Cup, the site features information and opinions
about players, teams and issues that you can't find anywhere else on the
Internet, especially for some of the lesser known teams such as Saudi Arabia
and Togo.
"Four years ago we did a very small blog about
the World Cup and attracted attention from all over the world. This
time we wanted to take things to the next level and to cover every aspect
of this global event from a perspective that you rarely find in mainstream
media: the fan perspective. The response thus far has been amazing
and we expect things to explode as the start of the tournament nears in
June," said Sean Keener, President and Co-Founder of BootsnAll.
In addition to offering travel services and
information for those traveling
to Germany for the tournament, World Cup Blog has partnered to sell
tickets, which are in great demand for the once every four years event.
The site expects to generate additional revenue through advertising and
affiliate partnerships.
With many of its bloggers and staff going
to Germany for the World Cup, the site will use the latest technology to
offer video, audio and real time reports as the games take place during
the month-long tournament.
The world's most watched and followed sporting
event, in 2002 the World Cup final was watched by more than 1 billion people
worldwide, more than ten times the number of people who typically watch
the Super Bowl. This years tournament promises to be even bigger and World
Cup Blog is the place to catch all the action online.
