Wow what a sporting day for Germany. First Sebastian Vettel won the F1 European Grand prix on the street circuit of Valencia and then the National football team destroyed England 4 - 1.

So for today's entry in the Joomla World Cup I decided to feature a German automative industry web site.

A few weeks ago I wrote about Ghana and that the Official web site of the Ghanaian Government uses Joomla.

That's made it quite hard to find a good entry for the Joomla World Cup to represent Ghana.

Côte d’Ivoire is a West African country often mistakenly still called The Ivory Coast.

Formerly part of the Federation of French West Africa the country achieved Independence in 1960.

Creating a widespread communications network in a country like Côte d’Ivoire is a challenge.

As Japan had a notable victory today in the FIFA World Cup it is this Nation's turn to feature on the blog.

However I had a great deal of difficulty in finding many Joomla powered web sites in Japan. Perhaps this guest blog by Norito Hanji Yoshida will help to explain why.

This blog post was first published at http://www.joomlajp.org

When I started this series of blog posts the aim was to showcase web sites from countries that win a match in the FIFA World Cup.

Whilst it is just a bit of fun I have tried to select sites based on their profile in the country and not necessarily the sites features or design.

Today the USA won a football match so I set out to find a site that for me really typified America.

Rightly or wrongly one of the first things that I think of when I think of the USA is "corporate greed"

We are used to communication being secure

If we phone with our mobiles, we assume that only the people we dialled can hear us.

When transferring money we provide information via the bank's web page and we trust that nobody else can use that information to withdraw money from our accounts.

What could be a more appropriate Joomla! powered web site for the World Cup than that of the City of Johannesburg.

Johannesburg is the largest city in South Africa and one of the 40 largest metropolitan areas in the world.

On the 11th July Jo'burg will host the 2010 FIFA World Cup final at the Soccer City stadium.

Bibleoteca Nacional de Portugal (BNP) is the Portuguese National library.

Founded in 1796 it acts to preserve and catalogue  the bibliographical cultural and heritage of the Portuguese nation.

Who says you can't make money with Joomla?

The Banco Central del Paraguay (Central Bank of Paraguay) is responsible to the printing and minting the guaraní, the Paraguayan currency.

Denmark has a global reputation for style and design, after all it's the home of Bang & Olufsen.

It is famed for its humanism, social understanding, democratic thinking and concern for the environment and the world we live in.

At INDEX: they "dream of a world that is designed to suit the needs and aspirations of mankind."

Established in 2002, this Danish-based, non-profit organization, works to improve the lives of people across the world through design,
