I’ve been working feverishly away on this project for a while. It’s still technically beta, but here it is: World Cup Predictor. Plug in your World Cup match predictions and see who you think will win…

World Cup 2010 Predictor
Monday, May 3rd, 2010Wearing a cheap transfer of your heart on your sleeve
Wednesday, June 7th, 2006With only a few days before the World Cup kick off, and less than a week before Australia plays Japan, last night we went shirt hunting. We have a slim chance of getting tickets for the Australia Croatia game, but chances are we’re going to be sitting in central Stuttgart with thousands of other not-so-lucky Australian and Croatian fans watching the game on a giant screen, drinking a few Löwenbräus and eating some wurst.

Joga update
Thursday, March 30th, 2006The Official Google Blog has just posted about Joga – gives a good overview of what’s on offer there. Joga is still in ‘invite only’ mode though; so the world may have to wait to see my hot football skills (ahem!).
Google and Nike Launch Joga.com
Monday, March 20th, 2006Google and Nike – perhaps a less than obvious pairing – have launched Joga (via Slashdot), which purports to be social networking site for Football fans around the world. Of course at the moment its got the usual ‘Invite Only’ status everyone has come to know when it comes to new Google products.
I find it interesting that this site appears to have video and photo sharing — is this the first we may see of a Google photo sharing service? Such a product seems to be strangely missing from Google’s product line up, especially considering its very offline photo organising service Picasa.
Maybe Google aren’t quite ready to challenge Flickr (and Yahoo!) just yet.
Australia Finally Through

Kewell Redux
Wednesday, July 27th, 2005My last word on the Kewell-Liverpool debate, on April 27th 2005, was that his commitment to the club inspite of his injuries could be enough to rejuvenate the Kop faithful’s belief in him. He eventually came on as a late substitute against Chelsea in the Champion’s League semi-final, and put in a solid performance to keep the score locked at 0-0, which lead to Liverpool’s now infamous date in Istanbul.

Kewell Back… But Does it Matter?
Wednesday, April 27th, 2005Sports media in both Australia and Europe are reporting Harry Kewell will return to the Liverpool squad for the Champion’s League game against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge tomorrow. But is it too little too late for the Australian?
