CBSNews Jump The Gun A Little

Let me say straight away that I’m not a fan of football, but I keep an eye out for interesting things going on around the Internet. So when the well known news service site CBSNews publishes a news article with completely the wrong news and say that the Netherlands win the world cup I tend to sit up and take notice.

They have since corrected the mistake, but I am one of those people who tends to take screenshots of things like that, just in case…

Netherlands Win World Cup?

Working with websites all day I can see how this sort of thing can happen. Although I would say that CBSNews needs to give its users a little more training ;)

This bit of news was, in fact, how I learned who had won the 2010 world cup. I didn’t watch the final, or indeed, any of the matches during the contest.
