We know it will be hard to fit anything additional into a packed schedule of back-to-back football watching, but at half-time, read a couple of these interesting commercial news stories, two of which are even related to the World Cup:
- World Cup sponsors must consider more than just sport - social and political nuance also important, as big names like Sony, Adidas and Coca-Cola are discovering.
- Credit Suisse may face legal action over failed bid for Canary Wharf office block.
- Under the microscope; Apple, Starbucks and Fiat are to be investigated by the European Commission in relation to their payment - or, rather, non-payment - of taxes.
- Best way to celebrate the start of the World Cup? Buy a bigger TV on which to watch it! Argos sales rise as direct result of more TVs being sold.
- Is the best way to entice investors with the promise of a free burrito ever week for a year? Chilango is giving it a try.
- Mark Carney made the annual Mansion House speech last night; an indication that interest rates may rise has caused the pound to surge.
