So this week’s Weekly Reader is a special weekend edition…mostly because Wednesday was dedicated to celebrating the Blackhawk win with the rest of Chicago. Until living in Germany, I had never given soccer much attention. But that summer, Germany hosted the 2006 World Cup and Nuremberg was one of the host cities. To say the least, Fußball Feber is infectious, and I quickly got caught up in the excitement. Below are some of the best links I’ve been collecting on the World Cup.

In German, but as the title says: it’s super-practical and ultra-portable!

Haven’t tried either of these, but promise good eye/data-candy.
