Microsoft's World Cup scoreboard
I'll admit, I'm pretty sports agnostic, but Microsoft apparently isn't: It's released Soccer Scoreboard for World Cup 2006, a little Windows app that will show you the score of the current match, a schedule of upcoming matches, and the current standings. You can also add a custom RSS feed to be shown in a ticker at the bottom, and adjust the transparency level. Before you install the Soccer (Football, whatever) Scoreboard you'll have to jump through Microsoft's Windows validation hoops, but otherwise the app is free.[Via jkOnTheRun]

I hope that's not the final result of the match earlier today, because
if it is I'm going to be VERY F***ING upset at you spoiling the
results for all of us who are tivoing the game to watch after work.

I liked Google's live score (http://www.google.com/ig) and when I am working during a world cup match, I check it afetr every 10-15 minutes. I feel that it is very compact and Google team has done a superb job.

Oh America will lose.
You all know it.
While Micrsoft is still stuck on "Genuine Advantage" downloadable software that makes you prove your non-pirateness, Google offers a simple, open soccer tracker.
WGA truly sucks.

Let's not be bigoted, Jimmy. In American, Australian and South African English, the sport is called 'soccer.'

Install it with 'English (United States)' and it'll install as 'Soccer Scoreboard'.
Install it with 'English (United Kingdom)' and it'll install as 'Football Scoreboard'.
That keeps everyone happy.
