It has been a while since we had an Excel Links feature. So here we go again. But before jumping in to all the Excel goodness, let me share a few tidbits about our Bangkok adventure.
As you may know, we (Jo, kids & I) have temporarily moved to Bangkok for a few months. If all goes well, we plan to live here until 1st week of March before returning to India.
So far, we are really loving this place. We rented an apartment on the busy Sukhumvit road (near PhromPhong BTS) for 2 months. The apartment is on 20th floor and we have amazing views of various sky-scrappers, sky train and awesome sky. In fact the kids like the view so much that, we spend half-an-hour every night just watching the trains from our bedroom window, before they sleep.
Since this is not a pure vacation, I spend a few hours everyday replying to emails & comments, preparing content for this blog, helping students on Excel School & VBA Classes and other work stuff. But rest of my day is free and we are enjoying it by eating strange food, taking kids to beautiful parks (we went to the calm & vast chatuchak park area last weekend), taking leisurely strolls. I have also started playing squash & swimming.
Some pics (click to enlarge)
One side effect of all this is, I am not able to spend as much time replying to your emails. So if you have sent us something and not heard back, please drop a reminder and I will get back to you at earliest. And oh yeah, I love you for doing that 🙂

Nice roundup! Do you know of any one-page spreadsheets which will be updated by an administrator after each game? Would be nice to be able to print out the latest results whenever I feel like checking them as I probably won't be following closely every day.
I actually haven't tried any of the above ones yet, but I thought I'd mention this one that I found which makes a nice one-page form you can fill in dynamically. http://exceltemplate.net/sports/world-cup-2010-schedule-and-scoresheet/
I would like to recommend you these one: http://www.anotagol.com/
You can choose your interface language (english, spanish, italian, portuguese, german or french) and your country for the timezone of match. I like it very much.
An awesome online world cup calendar in flash.

Does anybody know how to re-create this(?): http://www.marca.com/deporte/futbol/mundial/sudafrica-2010/calendario-english.html
...or do you know where a template can be found? I am DYING to have something like this on my site. When I found it, I had been looking for the longest time for a circular calendar. I found a couple that weren't adequate. Then I stumbled upon this one and my eyes nearly popped out of my head. If anyone can lead me in the right direction, I would be eternally grateful!
Thanks in advance!
Robert
@Robert...
Doing something like that is a lot of work. You can probably get it done with some hired help from a flash developer.
@Robert, the World Cup flash in the Spanish Marca newspaper is impresive, but not much as my own animated spreadsheet with the Goals of 2010 World Cup South Africa in Excel that I just published into my blog:
http://pedrowave.blogspot.com/2010/06/goals-of-2010-world-cup-south-africa-in.html
Download from here:
http://cid-6b219f16da7128e3.office.live.com/view.aspx/.Public/Goals%20South%20Africa%20Animated.xlsx
And start to enter the goals of the rest of matches.
Has anyone seen, or made, a Spreadsheet where you can record the scorers and see a 'top scorers' chart. Would be a nice enhancement
@Neil... checkout this one http://www.inflexionary.com/sports/world-cup-2010-excel
it uses macros to fetch scores from web (and provides very comprehensive analysis too)
@All.. Thanks for the comments. I have updated the post with few more links now.

Hey, you missed ours! It has everything you need and more, but not a whole pile of silly extras (National Anthems, etc). I'll be making another one for the 2014 world cup. We had over 4000 hits on it!
