Football World Cup 2010 – Google Chrome Themes & Live Updates Extension

Google continues to show its love for the greatest Football Extravaganza – FIFA World Cup 2010. Previously we have written about how Google has created a 3D Virtual Tour of all the World Cup stadiums in South Africa where the matches would be played.

Google also dedicates “Doodles” to several special occasions where they replace the Official Google Logo, with a logo created for the occasion. At the start of the Football World Cup 2010 they continued this tradition and created a World Cup 2010 Doodle.

I’m sure this is just the first of some more to come during the entire run of the World Cup competition.
