I’ve been watching most of the Copa Mundial from the comfort of my living room sofa and according to Gizmodo, I’m not alone. These are some of the stats according to the tech blog:
5,000,000,000: Viewers expected to watch the games
45000: Estimated number of network connections for TV production
2200: Hours of feeds produced
2000: Staff of TV productions
2000: Press, commentators
1300: Kilometers of cable for 12 venues
800: Camera positions
750: kilometers of audio/video cables
And what to do if your hypothetical sister wants to watch television while the partidos are on? Catch a live stream on the internet of course. But that’s an entirely different post.
Chack out all the A/V stats on the Copa Mundial at Gizmodo.
The Copa Mundial Officially Kicks Off
9 Jun 2006
It’s on! A short time ago the 2006 FIFA World Cup was officially opened. German uber-model Claudia Schiffer and futbol legend Pele opened the Mundial carrying the golden World Cup. This was follwed by a parade of the countries who have won World Cups into the Munich stadium. A catchy musical performance followed featuring German singer Herbert Gronemeyer and African duo Amadou & Mariam.
Now we are officially into the first game of the Copa Mundial with Costa Rica facing the home country team of Germany. Not even 18 minutes into the first half, we have Germany ahead 2-1. Germany scored a golaso within the first three minutes. If what I’m watching now is any indication, this is going to be an amazing Copa Mundial. I need to go grab a beer. This is good.
Keep track of what’s going on with the Copa at the official FIFA World Cup Website.
