Soccerlens: World Cup 2014


As Soccerlens' World Cup correspondent, I created and maintained the site's tournament home page, leading a team of five writers to preview and report on all 64 matches in Brazil that summer.

My works included:

World Cup Roundups + 'Rivaldo's Gamble Prediction Game'

Every day of the 2014 World Cup, I produced a roundup article detailing the good, the bad, and (sadly due to injury) not the Ribery. 

In later editions, I included the 'Rivaldo's Gamble Predictions', a game with SuperBru (with a Brazilian diving twist)!
