Castrol’s World Cup App Keeps You Updated with All Stats
Well, someone had to do it. With all the big excitement over the upcoming World Cup, it comes as to no surprise that someone finally made an app that would give you statistics and a projected outcome of matches.
After all, it has been proven time and time again that people in general just love number crunching. While the actual calculations are a pain to process, being able to compare cold hard numbers is actually entertaining –as weird as the idea sounds on paper. Anyway, Castrol has released an iPhone app that will get you connected with all the big numbers of the upcoming World Cup.
From the specs of the teams as a whole to individual player performances, Castrol’s database reaches deep into the history of football and gathers data from all the relevant matches that players participated in the past. Using this data, the app will even give users a predicted match outcome. And while it would not be wise making any bets based on the results of an App, it does take the thinking out of those arguments about which team would win based on the players’ histories.
The prediction system does not only offer stats on which team is likely to win, it also provides behavioral pattern results –giving you a heads up on the most likely plays to be executed by players and in shoot-outs, where a goalie would be positioning.
In other World Cup related news, UK residents are being advised to be careful of using their smart phones outside of the country –especially those planning to attend the World Cup in South Africa. People are advised to contact their mobile network operators in to know about the various roaming and data charges that would apply once a user is outside of UK territory.
