German 0 – 2 Italy … and RSS

German 0 – 2 Italy … and RSS

3 Comments 04 July 2006

The commentator does not have RSS.

“The newspapers will read tomorrow,” he says. It ignited this post.

Welcome the information age. We watch the world cup on our front page in real time. Only turned the television on after full time.

How many RSS feeds already have the score of the FIFA World Cup 2006 semi-final where Italy beat the host nation, Germany, in extra-timeÃ‚Â two goals to zero? Why wait until tomorrow to read todays news? Will it be Portugal or ~~Africa~~ France?

Have you read these yet?

C’mon Rafiq, how can you tell me that “watching” your RSS reader for the score is more interesting than “watching” the TV?
If you at work, and can’t catch the game, then the second best thing is to watch the Matchcast on fifaworldcup.yahoo.com. But RSS? It just doesn’t do it for me!

I wouldn’t watch it on RSS – I’ not that hectic. I could envisage myself enjoying it with streaming video on my cell though.
Portugal’s gonna win, but it doesn’t really matter: Proudly Earthling;-)
