  World Cup 2006 Kick-Off ShowCase
The biggest sporting event of this year the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany with the world's best 32 football teams to compete and to determine the tournament's winner after 64 matches in 12 stadiums has nearly taken-off. It's funtastic weather here in Germany and I think topclass players and passionate fans from around the globe will make the cup a world class celebration during June/9th and July/9th.
After an opening ceremony and a speech from the german president Horst Köhler I'm exited to watch the german team tomorrow at 6.00 pm playing against Costa Rica in Munich's Allianz Arena. Stats say 'The World Cup hosts have never lost their opening match', although the fascination of football has a long and rich tradition it's everytime an opportunity to participate in a World Cup's atmosphere especially when it takes place in one's country.

Immediate reactions on World Cup matches and atmosphere can best be monitored in blogs and other user-generated media like web pages, newsgroups, chat lines, forums and message boards. I'm also expecting lot's of user-generated multimedia presented as moblogs, vlogs, photo sharing and podcasts.
As the fascination of football the slogan 'Made in Germany' has a long tradition, too. Top model Claudia Schiffer presents the new campaign for the initiative, “Invest in Germany – Land of Ideas”, it's worth to have a look at:
