The 2014 FIFA World Cup has officially started, and Google has launched a website that will allow users to get the most comprehensive coverage.
According to the Google blog, the company promised that they are bringing the fans closer to the game.
"Google Trends is your real-time guide to the players, teams and moments that are capturing the world's attention. At google.com/worldcup you can explore these moments throughout the tournament, whether it's insight on how a country is feeling ahead of a big match, or where fans stand on a controversial game-winning call," added the post.
How it works: if one searches for the terms "world cup" or "world cup usa," they will instantly be provided with lineups before the matches, live scores, and the latest information about players statistics and goals.
Users could also view streets and stadiums for the games like the 12 stadiums, one of Brazil's World Cup traditions.
Google also impressed fans with the interactive Google FIFA World Cup doodle, where a yellow and blue football bounces in the center of the screen. The ball then hits the point, and each letter from the word "Google" will bounce up and down.
Google is not the only online company that will make it easier and more fun for fans who will be following the game from their computers and smartphones. Twitter has the #WorldCup2014 hashtag page, and would make your page more colorful with "hashflags," where national flags will appear after you type the code (ie. #BRA for Brazil, #ESP for Spain, and #FRA for France).
