Although India does not have it’s Football team in the FIFA 2010, scheduled to kick start from June’ 11, but this does not deter the Indian citizens to search for FIFA 2010 on the web. Looking at some interesting statistics from Google, India ranks third in the top 10 list of countries searching for FIFA world cup online .South Africa and Indonesia being 1st and 2nd. This leaves all the other European countries behind. However India featured nowhere in this list back in 2009.

Web users in Karnataka topped the charts for online soccer frenzy, with Maharashtra at second place and Tamil Nadu coming in third. Some of the key things searched on Google related to FIFA were World Cup 2010′, FIFA 2010 schedule’, FIFA tickets’,   merchandise like FIFA jerseys.

The highly anticipated FIFA 2010 World Cup will start on June 11th, and I bet there will be millions of people around the world who will tune into the biggest football event in the world.

Guess who else is gearing up for the event? Google. If you use Google to search for any football related news or scores, Google displays all the group information and match timings, and possibly scores once the tournament kicks off.

However, in addition to that, if you scroll down to go through the next page, you will see a Google Easter Egg. Instead of the regular Gooooogle image, you will see a Goooooal image as shown in the image below.

Try this out, it works for any football related queries. Oh and by the way, don’t forget to check out a cool way to track FIFA 2010 World Cup with a Excel Template or watch the FIFA 2010 World Cup online.
