Football* fans from the UK should rejoice: Google added an OneBox that
shows scores and upcoming matches when you search for the name of a
team (
Arsenal,
Manchester United etc). Apparently, Google shows the OneBox only for the US and the UK sites.
EPL Talk
wonders if Google pays a fee to display this information, but I
wouldn't worry about that. "By law, publishers must pay a license fee
to the Football DataCo Limited company that in turns shares the money
with the clubs in the Premier League and Football League."
It's interesting to notice that
Google SMS and
Google's mobile search engine show scores and schedules from NBA, NHL, MLB, NFL, NCAA and from many football championships:
Primera División,
Serie A,
Bundesliga,
Ligue 1 etc.
* Note for the American readers: you may replace "football" with "soccer" in this post.
