World Cup 2010 Wall Chart

March 26th, 2010 | by: Daryl |

wall e Wall charts are a World Cup tradition. I’ve had one either pinned, Blu-Tacked or taped to a wall (and one time attached to a fridge with magnets) for every tournament I can remember. They’re useful for two things:

a) They’re a handy guide to who’s playing who, and when. If you have a wall chart, you have no excuse for missing a game. Unless you have one of those job things, and
b) You can fill in the scores as you go along. I love seeing my wall chart slowly fill up with numbers, because it’s part of the experience of marking the tournament’s progress. When you only have the scores from the first round of group games and the rest of the boxes are empty, you know there’s still plenty of football to go. When you’re filling in the semi-final scores you know the whole thing is nearly over.

If that sounds appealing then you’ll be pleased to hear about our World Cup 2010 Wall Chart, available here for the very reasonable cost of free.

The people behind World Cup Blog (I can’t take any credit for this) have put together two options. The first is a “classic” style wall chart made up of one page with the schedule and box scores. The second is a “bracket” style version made up of two pages. Here’s a quick teaser image:

If you’re interested in having either or both of our wall charts someone where in your home or office, then here’s a step by step:

1. Visit our World Cup 2010 Wall Chart page.
2. Click the links to select either the “Classic” or “Bracket” version. The wall chart will open as a pdf.
3. Print out your wall chart (or save and print later).
4. Attach to a vertical surface with something either sharp, sticky or magnetic.
5. Wait for June 11th, 2010.

We tried Luke, but it proved impossible to recreate digitally. But if anyone wants to take a look at Partridge’s Soccer Meter, then click this link:

Theo, I couldn’t think of a better birthday present.

I’ve excitingly printed off several copies of the Bracketed version so that me and my friends can all do a prediction version before the finals, and then have one master one with the actual results, so we can see who gets closest.

(Have I gone too far with this?)

Slightly off topic.. only because the Wall Chart does not list coach name. But Piers Edwards of BBC Sports blog poses a question and analysis as to why there is on ONE African coach out of the 32 teams in WC. 2010. That coach is of Algeria… Rabah Saadane. It’s a good read and good comments streaming from it. Please add your say.

Against facts there are no arguments. Brazil , Italy and Germany were in the final game at World Cup 15 times since 1930. This mean 15 times in 18 times possible

ITALY – 1934, 1938, 1970, 1982, 1994 and 2006.
GERMANY – 1954, 1966, 1974, 1982, 1986, 1990 and 2002.
BRAZIL – 1950, 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994, 1998 and 2002.

15 TIMES: 1934, 1938, 1950, 1954, 1958, 1962, 1970, 1974, 1982, 1986, 1990, 1994, 1998, 2002 and 2006.

IMPRESSIVE: Brazil and Germany together were in the final game in 13 times (considering 2002 just 1 time) among 18 possible: 72%.

This numbers indicate that 1 or 2 of them will be at the final game in 2010. As i said FACTS, just facts.
