Is anyone aware of a March Madness-style bracket website where you can invite your buddies for a World Cup bracket (and make a few bucks in the process)? ESPN certainly yet has to realize that this may be an opportunity to generate a buzz around the tournament that they are broadcasting.

This website has a downloadable dynamic WC excel sheet, but this would still require quite a bit of manual processing if an office bracket is what you are trying to accomplish: http://world-cup-2006-schedule.en.softonic.com/ie/47647

The Footie Fox is pretty cool. I like seeing the flags for Germany and Costa Rica waiting for me in the corner of my toolbar.

I tried the google calendar and imported the World Cup schedules from other ppls shared calendars. That works well for me.

Just saw the website http://www.worldcupkickoff.com and pulled up the schedule for group E.
Wouldnt it be sweet if USA beats Czech at 11am and Ghan beats Italy a couple of hours later at 2. Heres to dreaming!

The Outlook plugin is pretty buggy – it put in 2 records per game, at the wrong times.

I grabbed a freeware program for my Palm TX from sk7software. It’s very slick.
