World Cup Final: A New Tweets Per Second Record

The FIFA Women’s World Cup set two new records for number of tweets sent per second on Sunday.

The final game, between USA and Japan, set the new all-time high with 7,196 per second at the end of the game. The Paraguay vs. Brazil game is the new number-two spot with 7,166 tweets per second, according to a tweet sent by @Twitter.

The previous record was set just as New Year’s Day began this year in Japan — with 6,939 tweets per second. The Women’s World Cup Final also far outpaces the Men’s World Cup 2010‘s most-tweeted match: 3,283 tweets were sent per second when Japan beat Denmark. It’s certainly curious that all of these top-tweeting moments occurred around Japan.

As far as non-soccer sporting events go, in February, Twitter users outdid themselves during the Super Bowl, compared to previous years, with 4,064 tweets sent per second.

El Cangrejo – L’equip petit (Margatania F.C.)

Hi everybody and thanks a lot for all your kind words. L’equip petit is really as little as the kids of Margatania F.C.
In fact, this is not the final project, we hope to be with the team next year shooting during all the championship.

This short was originally a demo to show the fathers and mothers of the kids and our closed friends. This isn’t a video made with commercial purposes…

It’s so beautiful that I almost cry watching the video.  The little ones really made my day.  I would love to be there the day they score…  and I’m already waiting for the video.  Arriba Margatania F.C.! Son unos gigantes! Keep on smiling!
