The Friday Roundup: World Cup Edition

We're back for the second installment of Friday Roundup! Once again, we're sharing great posts that caught our attention. This week, we've got a slew of World Cup posts, some NBA Finals drama and a mix of other good stuff.

• National Geographic Adventure shares six travel tips for visiting the World Cup in South Africa.

• Robert Evans, a former soccer referee, now runs For the Integrity of Soccer which covers the "art and science of refereeing". Earlier this week, the site shared thoughts on the refereeing in the Argentina v. Nigeria match.

• I Am Baker, a lovely blog with even lovelier photography, shares some Facebook Like cookies that were made for a bachelorette party.

• Soccer by Ives has been providing fantastic coverage of the World Cup. In addition to recaps and news, they've also been liveblogging.

• The Photodiarist takes photos of ordinary moments and posted some sleepy NYC moments last week.

• On a more serious note, The Health Care Blog ran an op-ed piece about encouraging medical students to choose primary care.

• Finally, Red's Army, a Boston Celtics blog, posts a touching tribute to Doc Rivers, the Celtics' coach.

Now it's your turn! Share your favorite TypePad (or any blog!) post from the last couple weeks in the comments.

I've been following mbf for a while now, and he always posts really interesting content about videogames and gaming culture. His new blog, gamescenes helped me discover an artist who I promptly bought work from for my art collection!

There's a couple of blogs that have had my attention over the past week. One is http://iammommy.typepad.com/i_am_baker/ as it has such beautiful photography which I love and the other that I keep hanging my nose over is http://www.halloweensuperaffiliatepro.info as it looks a very interesting way for me to earn some extra to give my children a really special Christmas..

Take a look at http://nimblecat.typepad.com/thecareerists. We blog atleast once a week on the state of the US job market. The NimbleCat engine classifies jobs accurately by the professional experience required to do the job. We combine this with our job aggregation engine that collects more than a million jobs a month from online sources. This gives us the real time data that we use to produce our job market micro-views. Our analysts review this data weekly and uncover interesting trends that will be useful both to job seekers and to recruiting professionals.

I read many TypePad blogs and, believe me, I love them all. But three of them are my most favourite which I always visit. I'm sorry I can't choose just one!

1. http://www.bobbintalk.com/
Because I think that Aneta is the greatest fashion blogger ever! I love her blog because she promotes talented young people.
2. http://www.agnespages.typepad.com/
Because, apart from her beauty, I admire her strength, her energy and her unique way to master words. I've also learnt a lot from her!
3. http://hotkerfuffle.blogspot.com/
Tina is one of my greatest online friends. I've known her online for about 6 years. Tina is a great artist and a great painter. She won a blog award on Blogger and, to me, she is not only a great artist (as much as I can understand art)but she is also a great lady, a loving wife and a wonderful mum!

Hi all, we recently posted our World Cup thoughts following a lacklustre performance from the England team. There's parallels with branding here - and the England team certainly neglected theirs!

Would love to hear your thoughts:

After following the fortunes of the England football team for the last 30 odd years, i have given up watching them permanently.
England 1 Germany 4
I just don't understand how we just gave up when the going got tough.
