Twittering from the World Cup

I'm not normally a huge twitterer, but I figure if there's a time to tweet, it's the world cup. So while France and Uruguay were boring me to tears, I started looking to see who's twittering from the South Africa. Here are some pundits, players and regular old people I'd recommend following:


DaMarcus Beasley (@DamarcusBeasley)
The speedy American winger seems to be a pretty prolific twitterer. I'm pretty positive it's him doing the tweets and not some PR firm in NYC.
Quote: "Made it to Rustenberg. Wicked hotel, wild animals right outside ure room. Shit is crazy! Hopefully we have the same luck this go around USA!"




Barry Glendenning (@bglendenning)
Probably my favorite sports writer. His minute-by-minute coverage for the Guardian always has me laughing out loud. Quote:"Do the people at Google know the striker nearest the goal in their World Cup logo is almost certainly offside?"


Kaka (@RealKaka)
Um... he's only, like, the best player in the world. Unfortunately I don't speak Portuguese, but I follow him anyway. And every once in a while he goes for a tweet in English. This one's adorable: "I wanna say thanks to @pregadorluo .. He made 2 musics for me !! Amazing .. Tks Luo, God Bless u .." I wish people would make musics for me!


Abigail Clancy (@Abigail_Clancy)
What's the world cup without the WAGs? Abigail Clancy is Peter Crouch's girlfriend, and she tends to tweet about, well, herself. She posted: "5 things someone should take to south africa?...." then retweeted "NeeNee4789 


@Abigail_Clancy gorge shoes, maxi dress, sun lotion, gorge hat, sexy sunnies :)" 




Me... duh! (@nishaligon)
I have yet to tweet anything that deserves a quote, but I promise I will!
