Yes, it seems they are gone. How odd.

As an aside: I think England are playing in Stuttgart next Sunday.

Wow. That means party over here.

can anyone confirm if the offical google mod is also feeding update information.. for the last 2 days I have been busy and not been active online-- is that broken too ?

No that seems to be working okay but very slow. When I had a look after the England game it was still saying 48 minutes and that the score was 1-1. (the final score was 2-2 and England win the group – yey!)

Earlier today it was still working – but only showing the score for Costa Rica – Poland, and not for Ecuador – Germany.
So, my guess, is that they figured out they had a bug and couldn't handle concurrent matches, and took it off-line to fix it.

i checked now... entering world cup will trigger the results~

Germany is totally kicking a**. I will be shocked --SHOCKED-- if they lose to anyone at anytime. Woot!

This may be off-topic or not, probably depending on some technical details that I am not familiar with, so apologies if it is "OT", but I just thought you guys could do something with this.

Since ages I use Google's advanced search as my browser's homepage: http://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en. Now, I also have Bloglines' "quick-subscribe" button in my toolbar. So in order to quickly go to Bloglines, I hit the subscribe button, only to see Bloglines say "No feeds found". Until today that is : now Bloglines does find a feed where you can subscribe to (it now says "You are already subscribed to that blog." when I am on Google's page when hitting the subscription button.)

BL's hyperlink ("Preview This Feed") goes to http://www.bloglines.com/preview?siteid=6011075.

Whose camp is playing the ball here?

When you search for "FIFA", you get no longer the "live results". But you got an adword : "World Cup Soccer 2006
Live scores, standings & schedules
right on your Google homepage.
www.google.com/ig/worldcup"...
