Football (soccer) is the most popular game in the World. The FIFA World Cup started a couple days ago, and I think it is safe to assume that it is pretty much on everyone's mind right now. Even in the U.S, where soccer isn't as popular, the searches for this tournament beat those for the NBA finals and the Stanley Cup Playoffs, combined!
According to Google, people are primarily searching with queries like [world cup schedule] and [world cup 2014] etc. Additionally, fans are also searching heavily for their star players such as Cristiano Ronaldo.
In anticipation for all this, Google has set up resources to help keep fans updated with the World Cup.
