Football fever? Now you'll never miss a game!

Posted on 3:23 PM by Unknown
We hope you guys have been enjoying watching football this past week as much as we have – just one week in, and there's already been some incredible games! With another week of group play left, all the teams' schedules can be tough to keep track of, especially when you're trying to schedule meetings or meals around important games.

Our friends on the Google Calendar team recently released some cool calendars to help keep track of all the games. All you need is a Google Calendar account (it can be under the same username and password you use to sign-in to orkut), and you're all set! Then just check out each of the 32 team's calendars and add the ones you're following, so you don't miss any games.



Once group play is over, if your team makes the next round, the calendar will automatically update with the new games as they're announced. Once each game ends, the score will also show up in the event details.

And if you want to show all your orkut friends which team you're cheering for, check out the new football themes on orkut. We have a theme for all 32 countries playing this year:



We wish your team the best of luck. Enjoy the rest of the tournament!
