The World Cup

Four years ago some observers thought that the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (aka the CBC) had the best Flash-enabled World Cup web site. I've been watching the CBC site to see if they would repeat their coverage in a similar way this year, and until today I couldn't find any reference to the upcoming tournament at all.

Now that it's begun, however, the CBC has unveiled its Live Soccer Tracker and it does indeed seem to offer all the information you might want if you can't watch every match on television, let alone in person. It's certainly a good way to catch up on the latest results.

The remarkable thing is that Canada has only ever participated in the World Cup once, in 1986; and it lost all its matches even then.
