As the most popular spectator sport in Europe, it is no wonder that there are many football (soccer) apps available on the AppStore for Apple devices like koora live  the iPhone 4S. In this article I will look at a couple of the most popular ones, Sky Sports News and ESPN Goals.

Sky Sports News

This app actually provides news, information and headlines for a number of sports, but its football coverage is particularly impressive. The homescreen displays several news headlines regarding players, teams, transfers, match results and transfers etc. At the top of the screen you can toggle between news, live (which displays live scores for current matches), fixtures, results and league tables. Because this app uses feeds from Sky's comprehensive coverage, there is also the option to watch sky sports news live on you iPhone 4S, provided you are a Sky Sports News subscriber. You can also listen to live Sky Sports Radio (no subscription required), making it an interactive app which is a must for any football fan.

ESPN Goals

This app is designed purely to show all goals from the Barclays Premier League (ESPN owns the TV coverage rights to these games in the UK). Like the Sky Sports News app, ESPN Goals also has a number of news headlines and similar resources, like game fixtures, league tables, results and live scores. The only advantage that this app has over Sky Sports News is that it shows all goals from the premier league, which are uploaded within a couple of minutes after they are scored. You can customise the ESPN Goals app, by inputting the team you support. You will then get a notification on your iPhone 4S when your team scores a goal, or if they are mentioned in a news headline on the app.

Because both of these apps are free, there is no reason not to download both. If you are a football fan and you own an iPhone 4S or iPad, it puts all the football information you could want at your fingertips. If you are a subscriber to Sports News on your Sky TV package, you koora live  can use the integrated Sky Go functionality to watch Sky Sports News live on your phone, which is a very handy feature if you are not near a TV when an important football match is on.

Both of these apps are very popular in the UK. Not only are they available for Apple devices like the iPhone 4S, but also for Android devices like the Samsung Galaxy S2 and HTC Sensation.
