Note from Mark Miller: I will be setting up a demo site for the World Cup Template over the weekend. I’m going to include a count-down timer in mine… how many days left? In the meantime, go get your own SharePoint World Cup Template!

Is this the year England finally ends 44 years of hurt, will Italy retain the trophy, will an African team finally win it or is Brazil still simply the best? Whichever nation you are from, I am sure many of your employees will have an interest in what is happening in South Africa at the FIFA World Cup 2010. So what better way to get your users to keep logging on to SharePoint than creating a World Cup site for them?

Office Talk, based in the heart of the UK, has done the hard work for you by designing a World Cup 2010 SharePoint Template. The Office Talk boys have gone world Cup crazy and are even offering free SharePoint Designer Training courses if England wins the World Cup.

The World Cup Template includes a breakdown of all 64 matches in the World Cup, a preview of the 32 competing countries, single entry easy to update Group Tables, a review of all the previous finals and even a World Cup Sweepstake for your employees. The FREE Template was originally built for SharePoint 2010 (both Foundation and Server), but due to incredible demand has then also developed for SharePoint 2007 (WSS 3.0 and MOSS).

So get behind your country this summer and request your template now
