It seems that there is never a pub quiz without being asked for the name of the Capital City of Australia.

I don't know why but the quiz master always seems to think that this is a trick question and that after a few beers everyone will forget that it is Canberra and opt for Sydney instead.

Do they think we are all fools?

As a child I would be glued to my radio every sunday night to hear the music single Top 40 countdown.

As an adult in the multimedia cd-rom business I would scramble to open the envelope for the monthly software sales charts.

When I think of the Netherlands I think of clogs, tulips, windmills and some of the best Joomla!Day events I have ever attended.

The Netherlands is also of course famous for its canals and the fact that about 1/5 of the country has been recovered from the sea or about 7,000 km².

The Republic of Cameroon (French: République du Cameroun) is in central, western Africa on the Atlantic coast.

Although the country was created from two countries from the former French and British empires it is a predominantly french speaking country.

Relative to it's neighbouring countries Cameroon enjoys political and social stability and comparatively is well developed.

As you hopefully know by now this series of blog posts aims to feature high profile Joomla web sites from a country that won a match in the FIFA World Cup.

There wasn't a game today so I've selected a web site from England, who did win once, but haven't featured yet.

Sadly the England team underperformed so I've selected this site with my tongue firmly in my cheek as it's not exactly as "high profile" as other sites that I've included.

For most people in England when they think of visiting Spain they only travel to the Mediterranean coastal resorts.

The only thing Spanish they will ever see is tourist only Flamenco dance whilst they eat a "full english breakfast" or "fish and chips", all washed down with large quantities of English lager.

They miss out on the cultural and historical sites especially the city of Toledo located in the center of the country which has perhaps one of the richest histories of all.

When Brazil announced their team for the World Cup it was a surprise to many that Ronaldinho, a former World and European Footballer of the Year, was not selected.

But I guess having seen the performances to date of the Brazilian team even a player of his pedagree isn't needed.

(If England only had a player with a fraction of his skill and talent)

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.
