Fifty-four percent of the total conversation about the World Cup is being directed toward Spain, yet, of that total amount, only 47 percent of the chatter has been positive in sentiment. While only garnering 46 percent of the total conversation, Holland, on the other hand, has seen greater positive sentiment (53 percent).

Attensity is not attempting to predict the World Cup winner, as the champion wins on skill and ability to play better than the competitor, not social media popularity or "voting."

Multiple analyses of conversations in social media throughout the course of the World Cup have been conducted by Attensity and can be read on the corporate blog at: http://blog.attensity.com. Other resources from Attensity are available at: http://www.attensity360.com/insights/.
