Internet use in Brazil dropped when Brazil was playing World Cup games
"Soccer is religion in Brazil, some say. But don't take their word for it, just check the numbers.
When Brazil plays its World Cup games, available ad inventory in the country plummets 37%, according to ad-tech company Triggit, which serves nearly 2 million ads in the country each hour.
There are, of course, many websites without ads, so this is just a rough indicator. But it's a strong signal that far less web surfing occurs as the games get played.
"Normal ad data is pretty esoteric stuff and it's neat to see the real world playing out in our numbers," said Triggit CEO Zach Coelius.
When the games end, available ad inventory spikes to an average of over 27% above normal in the next two hours, meaning the country jumps back on the net in a hurry."

The first week of the World Cup generated more Facebook interactions than The Super Bowl, Sochi and The Oscars combined
"In the lead up to the World Cup, Facebook launched ‘Trending World Cup’ and ‘Facebook Ref’ to keep fans informed and engaged throughout the world’s most popular sports event. We’re just one week into the tournament, and even Facebook must be surprised by the results so far: Between June 12 and June 18 more people have talked about the World Cup on Facebook than the number of people who talked about this year’s Super Bowl, Oscars and Sochi Games, combined.
With three weeks left of games, the World Cup will surely set the bar (and an extremely high one at that) for event-based social engagement. Here’s how the first week of World Cup Facebook chatter stacks up to the aforementioned events:
World Cup Week 1 (June 12 – June 18): 141M people – 459M interactions (posts, comments and likes)
Super Bowl XVIII on Feb. 2: 50M people – 185M interactions (posts, comments and likes)
Sochi Games, Feb. 6-23: 45M people – 120M interactions (posts, comments and likes)
86th Academy Awards on Mar. 2: 11.3M people – 25.4M interactions (posts, comments and likes)"

World Cup TV viewing figures around the world
"The audited global figures will not be known for some time but broadcasters are already optimistic that the viewing numbers for the final on 13 July may approach or even surpass the 909 million who watched the Spain v Netherlands final in 2010.
A total of 11.5 million Dutch viewers (88.4%) watched their national team’s victory over Chili: 10.2 million at home and 1.3 million in public places.
A record number of 42.9 million Brazilians tuned in to see their team’s win over Croatia. 81.3% of Croatians watched the game (1.5 million).
Brazil-Croatia was also the most watched opening match in at least 12 years in the UK, with 11.2 million UK viewers (records going back to 2002).
The match Belgium – South Korea was the most watched football game in the history of Belgian television, reaching 3 million Flemish fans (82.8% of TV viewers) and 2.1 million of French-speaking Belgians (82.1%).
Viewing records were reported also in the UK: a peak of 20 million (71% share) watched England v Uruguay, the highest peak audience on any channel since the 2012 London Olympics.
27.3 million (84.2%) viewers in Germany tuned in to watch Germany defeat the US.
15.3 million Italians (82%) watched the game between England and Italy.
Greek viewership peaked at 81.3% audience share for Greece’s win over Ivory Coast.
68.5% of Spanish viewers (11.2 million) caught the game in which their national team was defeated by Holland.
The French victory over Honduras scored 56.3% audience share in France or 15.9 million viewers, amongst whom 1 million saw the game on digital platforms
Even in countries such as Sweden, where the national team didn’t qualify, the World Cup gathered up to 2.64 Mio viewers (48% audience share) for the game of Brazil against Mexico, also with impressive figures online, TV4 reporting up to 130 077 streams on their platform for the game of Spain against Chile.
The US’s first game drew more than 11 million viewers – the highest-rated football match ever shown on ESPN – and nearly 5 million on a Spanish-language network.
Even an 8 am broadcast of Australia’s match against Chile didn’t discourage 2.3 million Australians from watching the game."

Misattribution of World Cup Sponsorship
"Two-fifths (38%) of UK, US and Brazilian consumers mistakenly think MasterCard is a World Cup sponsor, with rival credit card brands Visa scoring just 4% higher recognition at 42%, according to research from GlobalWebIndex.
Other brands not officially linked to the tournament but which scored high recognition as "sponsors", included Carlsberg in the UK. Budweiser is the official World Cup beer sponsor.
Non-sponsor Pepsi, which has been running football-themed advertising, scored the highest awareness as a World Cup "sponsor" among US consumers.
Nike, which last week launched a humorous five-minute animated epic, was selected as a sponsor by nearly a third of UK and US consumers. Meanwhile, a fifth of UK consumers also thought that Samsung is a FIFA sponsor.
MasterCard has not sponsored the World Cup since 2006, when it discontinued its 16-year association with the tournament.
On a more positive note for those brands forking out millions of pounds on sponsorship of the Brazil World Cup, Coca-Cola, a sponsor since 1978, and Adidas, a sponsor since 1970, gained the highest recognition as World Cup commercial partners.
Coke’s association proved the most resonant for consumers, with two-thirds of UK and US consumers selecting the brand.
Overall World Cup sponsor recognition levels were at their highest to date, particularly in the host nation, according to GlobalWebIndex.
The research project involved the firm asking members of its real-time panels in the UK, US and Brazil to identify sponsors. Respondents were asked to pick official World Cup sponsors from a list of 38 brands, both official sponsors and their non-sponsor rivals.
The research also examined respondents' media consumption, and found that 91% of real-time fans second-screen while watching TV, with mobiles the most popular device.
Other findings were that 87% of UK Twitter users will be watching the World Cup live on TV, with a sixth of them saying they have previously retweeted football-related content from brands."

Tencent had more than 120 people at The World Cup by early May
"China isn't known as a hotbed of soccer super fans. But Chinese internet giant Tencent is betting that people nonetheless want to keep up-to-speed on the World Cup. So it's planning a continuous blast of live match broadcasts; news and commentary; scores via app and instant messenger; social games; and interactive commentary on WeChat, the company's hot social app.
To put things in perspective, Tencent already has more than 120 journalists, editors and photographers on the ground in Brazil. And the company has lined up sponsors including Nike, Toyota, Budweiser, Head & Shoulders and local beer brand Tsingtao, said Sophia Ong, Tencent's GM for planning and implementation, in an interview."

The 2010 World Cup Final had an estimated TV audience of 700m
"Spanish broadcasters said Ole! to record ratings as nearly 17 million fans watched the country's one-nil victory over the Netherlands in the finals of football's World Cup, part of about 700 million viewers estimated to have caught the match on small screens worldwide.
Some 16.8 million Spaniards -- 91 percent of the TV audience -- caught the highlight of the match, when Andres Iniesta rocketed in the winning goal in extra time giving Spain its first-ever World Cup win. On average 15.6 million people in Spain, 86 percent of the audience, watched on the three channels broadcasting the match, an all-time average record, according to ratings agency Barlovento Comunicacion.
Similarly in the Netherlands, 91 percent of the TV audience tuned into public broadcaster NOS as their Orange-mantled team failed in its third World Cup final. An average of 8.5 million Dutch caught the match, with millions more watching in pubs and public squares across the country. (Spain's population is 46 million vs. 17 million for the Netherlands.)
Though final figures aren't available, soccer's governing body FIFA estimates around 700 million people watched the final live. If that is correct, the match would beat out the estimated 600 million that caught the opening ceremony at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and would be on par, or slightly above, the 700 million that watched the World Cup final four years ago."

Click to enlarge
To get a handle who prevailed within the blogging landscape, we used MAP (our flagship analytics service) to compare activity between FIFA’s sponsorship “partners” – Sony, Visa, Hyundai, Kia, Emirates, Coca-Cola and Adidas.
Using the query “company name” AND “World Cup”, the winner by a wide margin was Adidas, which captured 42.2% of total blog activity. Sony was second with 20.2%, while Coca-Cola was third with 12.2%."

"Coca-Cola saw “phenomenal” results from its first experiment with paid advertising on Twitter, the drinks company’s digital marketing chief told the Financial Times.
The US soft drinks company is only the second brand to sponsor a “trending topic”, using Twitter’s “promoted tweets” to tap into online discussion about the World Cup this week.
It saw 86m “impressions” or views of the ads in 24 hours, said Carol Kruse, vice-president for global interactive marketing at Coca-Cola, which is an official sponsor of the football tournament.
Coke also saw an “engagement rate” of 6 per cent, compared with the approximately 0.02 per cent of people who click on a regular online advertisement."

Through Sunday, the World Cup is averaging a 2.6 U.S. rating and 4.2 million viewers on ESPN and ABC, up 63% in ratings and 80% in viewership from the comparable point in 2006 (1.6, 2.3 mil).
ABC drew a 2.8 rating and 4.7 million viewers for Sunday's Germany/Australia match, according to Nielsen fast-nationals, up 27% in ratings and 40% in viewership from Mexico/Iran on the first Sunday of the 2006 World Cup (2.2, 3.3 mil).
Also on Sunday, ESPN drew a 2.0 and 3.0 million for Serbia/Ghana.
Not surprisingly, Saturday's USA/England match on ABC stands as the top telecast of the World Cup, with a 7.3 and 13.0 million viewers.
Over on Univision, the World Cup averaged 3.2 million viewers for the first two days, up 49% from 2006.
Saturday's USA/England match drew 4.1 million viewers on Univision, the second-largest audience ever for a USA match on the network. USA/England is not the network's top telecast of this year's World Cup, however; the Mexico/South Africa opener drew 5.4 million viewers."

"Viewership for the 2010 FIFA World Cup is up significantly on ESPN/ABC and Univision.
Through Sunday, the World Cup is averaging a 2.6 U.S. rating and 4.2 million viewers on ESPN and ABC, up 63% in ratings and 80% in viewership from the comparable point in 2006 (1.6, 2.3 mil).
ABC drew a 2.8 rating and 4.7 million viewers for Sunday's Germany/Australia match, according to Nielsen fast-nationals, up 27% in ratings and 40% in viewership from Mexico/Iran on the first Sunday of the 2006 World Cup (2.2, 3.3 mil).
Also on Sunday, ESPN drew a 2.0 and 3.0 million for Serbia/Ghana.
Not surprisingly, Saturday's USA/England match on ABC stands as the top telecast of the World Cup, with a 7.3 and 13.0 million viewers.
Over on Univision, the World Cup averaged 3.2 million viewers for the first two days, up 49% from 2006.
Saturday's USA/England match drew 4.1 million viewers on Univision, the second-largest audience ever for a USA match on the network. USA/England is not the network's top telecast of this year's World Cup, however; the Mexico/South Africa opener drew 5.4 million viewers."
