Many schools have introduced a GEOGRAPHY OF SPORT unit into their KS3 schemes.The draw has been held for the WORLD CUP 2010 in South Africa.
Resources are starting to appear in various places, and there are bound to be many more as the tournament gets closer. I remember using the Africa Cup of Nations a while back (the resources are still on my Slideshare area)
The BBC NEWS site includes a useful INTERACTIVE MAP of the venues.
The FIFA site is now live too.
A report in The Times (and many other newspapers no doubt) talked about the economic benefits of England qualifying, and suggested that it would give a boost to the economy, and also have a positive impact in particular sectors:
- merchandise (those daft car flags will presumably be back soon....)
- flags
- beer
- pubs
- flat screen TVs (particularly HD equipment...)
