Will this App, relay LIVE football match during World Cup for less cost, or just giving only the Stats.
@mobile review,
No video streaming yet. For now, it only shows the stats and other world cup related news.
Hi simon,
is this app available for blackberry 9000 phones?
Hmm, this is not available in the UK itunes store… let me see… ah yes, in the US store. I must admit, I did not know soccer was played in the US but hey, one learns every day.
For the UK user too lazy to sign up for a US account,, try the Telegraph World Cup app which looks pretty similar.
