Reto Meier wrote to tell me of his mapping project. He’s found out the exact location of all the World Cup venues and stuck them into Google earth. Here, for example, is Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica. Pretty cool stuff. Check his blog out for more.

Wonder if they’re the updated stadium pictures?

Pretty cool task though, especially how he’s rotated the pictures to show the geography around the grounds (mountains, sea etc)
