&lt;p&gt;ESPN has been setting the bar for football coverage worldwide, not only due to the fact that it has signed up John Motson and Andy Gray to commentate, but also because it has really taken to the culture surrounding the game. It’s a little too much for one post, but I’ll do it anyway. Here are 32 amazing drawings of the 32 nations taking part in the World Cup. What do you guys think? My favourite has to be Switzerland’s with all the players as part of a Swiss Army knife. Brilliant stuff. View them all down below.&lt;/p&gt;

The patented transparent playing surface replaces the traditional felt but allows the balls to roll at the same speed. Bumpers, pockets and playing area are built to international standards, so you can play your game the same, with more style. The minimalist modern frame features integrated ball return allowing pocketed balls to be seen through the transparent top.”&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://www.chris-barber.co.uk/post/349453868</link><guid>http://www.chris-barber.co.uk/post/349453868</guid><pubDate>Sat, 23 Jan 2010 15:19:00 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>Our in-house project took another step forward today as we...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kwnfkvpWUY1qat2t6o1_400.png"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Our in-house project took another step forward today as we released our new branding. &lt;a title="Eliot Turner - Handmade Jewellery" href="http://www.eliotturner.com"&gt;Eliot Turner&lt;/a&gt; is the company that we are spinning out of our ‘&lt;a title="A blog about setting up an online store, from scratch." href="http://www.ecommerceexperiment"&gt;Ecommerce Experiment&lt;/a&gt;’, which we started last year at &lt;a title="Carrot Media Ltd - Ecommerce Specialists" href="http://www.carrotmedialtd.com"&gt;Carrot Media&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
