Not sure if you noticed, but there's this little thing called THE WORLD CUP happening? It's, like, soccer? I hear people are totally into it?

The opening match is Friday morning and Mexico doesn't like its chances, according to the Christian Science Monitor. The plethora of specially designed iPhone apps for the month-long event are broken down by the New York Times. Twitter has decked out its site with teeny tiny soccer balls (sorry, footballs) and national flags so people can talk smack in less than 140 characters (check out Tech Crunch's coverage on that.) The big Kickoff Concert is going on, for which the U.S. chipped in the Black Eyed Peas, Alicia Keys, and John Legend. ABC has the details on that, and you can watch the show live right this second at the Vevo You Tube channel.
