During last nights semi final game featuring the current european champions Spain vs Germany who have just got better throughout the tournament, I decided to watch this imprtant game with my spanish relative who was not only excited about the game but who clearly thought he was actually there in the South Africa amongst the crowd.
During the half time break I couldn’t help but notice how many tv adverts have got behind marketing the World Cup, and how they have used internet as a key tool for fans throughout the world, offering services such match replays, up to date facts and figures of the tournament so far. I even joined an online forum to discuss my own views and who I thought would win the competition.
The world cup in South Africa has been such a hit and boost for the countries economy, especially due to the large increase in tourism during the football.
So many online business have made a success throughout the time of the World Cup in South Africa, not only through travel and football merchandise but common accessories such as those noisy trumpets they call a vuvuzela which i saw for sale in my village shop, i didnt buy one as i intend on keeping my friends!
I had a friend who flew down to Durban to visit his mother and watch the Spain vs Switzerland game during his visit, I did mention to him that from what I saw on the television it was the most spectacular stadium I had ever seen, more so than I have ever seen over here in the U.K.
Just by working at a Ecommerce website design company my friend has researched that the Netherlands will win the World Cup down to having better previous experience of these games.
Some of the football sites also have some fantastic web design too!
