Sounds good to me. I only wish more leagues would do something like this:

FIFA has increased its use of social media by launching a YouTube channel showing free highlights from some World Cup matches.

FIFA says it will add features on preparations for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, streaming live media events and other international tournament matches.

The channel was launched by screening clips from five 2010 World Cup matches, including Spain's 2-0 win against Honduras and the United States beating Algeria 1-0.

FIFA president Sepp Blatter said YouTube users should be able to watch "the greatest moments" of World Cup history.

FIFA said the new channel aims to "further engage with fans by including user-generated content."

Blatter began posting Twitter messages at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

This sounds great and definitely agree that other leagues should jump on board too.

Leagues like the EPL are still pretty behind the times when it comes to social media and online highlights.

Yes, it's a huge step in the right direction. I have never understood why these leagues try to pull some of these youtube highlights down due to copy right infringement. Maybe it's the highlight shows that do it to protect their own interest. But it's the perfect marketing tool for these leagues or competitions.
