Yahoo! offers deep coverage with Yahoo Sports and as well as a partnered site with FIFA, FIFAWorldCup.com. This site offers Video Highlights, Fantasy Games, and mobile downloads of World Cup info and media.

However, SI.com is partnered with Yahoo Search for its Sports Illustrated search engine and serves Yahoo Publisher Network ads in its articles.
