ESPN 2010 World Cup (Free)
Version 1.0
REVIEW – “Although I haven’t found a way to get myself to the 2010 WC (yet!), I feel content in that I can keep updated with this app.”
The world loves its soccer (or football, as it’s called by everyone else) so it’s no surprise that there is not only an app solely dedicated to the upcoming World Cup or that it’s in the Top 25 after its second week of being released. If you are a soccer fan, this app is amazing!
Where to begin? First of all, the counter – a live counter with the exact time until the World Cup starts. As I sit here and type this, it is currently 172 days, 15 hours, 49 minutes and … yeah. People are that excited and if you are reading this, you are probably one of them. The home page of this app also features a “did you know?” fact – Did you know that Brazil is the only country to appear in every World Cup?, your favorite teams and the menu of the app: teams, news, fixtures/schedule, venue, tournament history – all of these facts and information directly at your fingertips and easy to search.
Each of these options contains a wealth of information – the players, bios, news, stats, upcoming schedules, match ups, the latest news… I was a little overwhelmed at first but I have discovered that a little bit goes a long way. I am slowly going through each of the teams and checking out the player’s bios and past history as I 
figured that is a good place to start.
In a way, it feels like just yesterday that my boyfriend and I, along with our die-hard English soccer fan friend Nicole were waking up way too early on Saturday morning to head downtown to our favorite pub where the games were shown. And after the 2006 World Cup ended, it was like a small heartbreak that we would have to wait four more years for another one, but here we are (almost). Luckily, in the three plus years that have passed, the iPhone has been invented and is widely used around the world so it makes sense that this app would be as well.
Because of the amount of information contained in the ESPN 2010 World Cup app, I can’t go step-by-step with you through it, I can only tell you that it is worth downloading. Developed and released by ESPN, this app has the WC live ticker at the bottom so that even as you sift through the app and all of its content, you still get information in real time.
If you are as excited about the upcoming 2010 World Cup in Africa as the rest of the world, download this app – it’s free, made by ESPN and has all of the information that you need in one convenient place. Although I haven’t found a way to get myself to the 2010 WC (yet!), I feel content in that I can keep updated with this app. You can too.
