World Cup promotions/contests

I'm getting a lot of requests to pass info on about World Cup promotions and contests. Normally, I don't give much thought to unsolicited approaches from corporate folks (unless they offer something of value in return for my promotion), but I know that many of my readers will be interested in some of these.
So, I'm going to put the info here for those that would like to check them out.

Budweiser’s Show Your True Colours!

See the 2010 FIFA World Cup Finals! Here’s your chance to score an unforgettable trip for you and a buddy to the final game of the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, all the while showing support for your favourite country! Interested? Follow the link below!

VISA
Lifelong soccer fan Steve Nash has teamed with Visa to encourage fans to express their true colors in support of their national teams by viewing, uploading and sharing goal celebration videos at the Visa Go Fans YouTube Channel.

Nash has recorded his own goal video, which takes viewers through a dream sequence of various goal occasions which lead to a waking moment reminiscent of Brandi Chastain’s iconic 1999 World Cup victory celebration, which can be viewed here: http://www.youtube.com/visagofans?x=KL4kvMj4sKc

Steve is the latest athlete to join the Visa Go Fans campaign, which aims to capture the unique passion of soccer fans and provide them an outlet to express their nationalistic pride. At the Go Fans YouTube channel, fans will also have the opportunity to win a trip to the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil each time they find a goal call video with a golden tint treatment.
