The World Cup is upon us and off to a rousing start with South Africa and Mexico playing to scintillating 1-1 tie in the opening game. One of the best parts of the World Cup is we all have our favorite teams. Maybe it is the USA or a team related to your heritage or just rooting for the underdog. It is truly the World’s game.

BlackBerry and Android both have great apps to help follow all of the games. Moreover, if you are anything like me, you will need an app to follow all the scores and news since the games are being played early or in the heart of the workday for most of us.

Search the BlackBerry App World for a good World Cup app or try this one: http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/10914

Or on an Android phone, search the Android Market for two of the best named “Goal.com Mobile” or “2010 World Cup.”

No smartphone? No problem.

Twitter has setup a special World Cup mini site that you can follow all of the action: http://twitter.com/worldcup/worldcup Find a couple of good tweeters to follow and have updates send straight to your phone via text messaging.

Enjoy the World Cup. For some of us it is a month of sporting bliss. And if someone randomly yells out “GOOOOAAAAALLLLL” while looking at their phone, you’ll know what is up.
