With the insight of a Platini pass, the invention of a Cruyff turn and the sense of humour of Carlos Valderrama's barber, Shiny Media introduces Who ate all the Bratwurst, the only World Cup blog worth its transfer fee. Wilkommen to you all.

Over the next two months in the build-up to the planet's greatest sporting event, and during Germany '06 itself, WaatB will be the site to visit for World Cup news, views, team and venue guides, features, live game blogs, competitions and much more cool stuff.

So bookmark us now, lie back and think of England... because fußball's coming home.

WaatB is Shiny Media's 20th blog. The company is the leading commercial weblog company in the UK and its sites attract a monthly audience of over a million unique visitors.
