Those of you who don’t know, the World Cup is only days away (that’s “soccer” for us Americans, but “football” for just about the rest of the world).

For those of you who want to keep up on such things you’ll want to check out a cool app from PocketWidget called Pocket WCup.

This app will keep you up-to-date with access to latest news, background and game results, includes a complete game calendar, shows real-time player rankings and team line ups, and provides live stats (game, goals, and cards).
