Football (soccer) fans of the world rejoice! The moment we've been waiting 4 years for is finally upon us. I can't wait to get over to Germany to take in a couple of matches next week. Anyone else headed over there that wants to meet up? My Dad and I will be there for 5 days.
In the meantime, be sure to check out 4INFO's latest mobile service offering real-time World Cup score alerts on your cell phone. It's our first premium service (which means you have to pay for alerts, but any search that you do is free). At $2.99 for unlimited alerts its still a pretty sweet deal Go to: http://www.4info.net/worldcup. I've got it set up to send me alerts for every game in the tournament, all 32 in the first round. OR just text the words WORLD CUP to 44636 (4INFO on your phone keypad). When you get the search result back reply with the number 1 to set up your alert.
See you in Germany!
UPDATE: Lots of good press for us the last couple of days, some links below:

Nice - lucky you. I'm not making it to Germany, but I will be in Europe during the quarterfinals. Should be a good time!
