As just about everybody in the world knows (except for the United States and probably Canada, too), the 2006 FIFA World Cup started last week. I've been following it as closely as I can, and thus far the best website I've found for following the action (free of charge, that is), is from the FIFA website itself. It's actually associated with Yahoo, but the Emirates Airline MatchCast updates scores scores and times faster and closer to real time than other websites similar offerings (such as ESPN GameCast, Fox Sports Match Tracker, or Sports Illustrated MatchCast). So, to those of you at work or without cable who want a free and reliable way to track ongoing World Cup games, I recommend the MatchCast from FIFA. Follow the link below to find and use it.
