A thread to discuss / comment on / link to / alert to World Cup Guides

No doubt all the weekday newspapers / saturday & sunday papers will overload us with World Cup specials: supplements / wall charts / guides etc. over the next week or so

Which are worthwhile and ones to avoid ?

Yesterday: Evening Standard presented the World Cup "the Ultimate Guide"

This Sunday: Observer Sports Monthly is a World Cup special

Next Monday: The Guardian have a 100 page Guide to the World Cup. promo website:

probably the best online resource:

Shoes! Good for cut-out pics, I guess, but really.

Still, not bad, but are there any with more details on squad members?
