I especially like the personal feelings that can come across in the speediness of a live blog, as seen by this update about two hours into waiting out the rain:

I enjoyed reading this the42.ie live blog due to its detailed nature. Kick-off for this match was 7pm, and the blog began updates 30 minutes before by sharing tweets by reputable sports like the Spanish and German FAs when they tweeted their teams' starting XI, RTÉ with a video of their pundit analysis of the squad performances, a result prediction poll to engage readers, updates every 3-4 minutes during game play, and the writer's own comments threaded throughout the updates. Also included are photos and videos from the game soon after they were taken and some embedded Twitter videos shared by outlets like RTÉ from their own coverage. The updates are so frequent that they are the next best thing to listening to the match on the radio, and at the end, the match stats are posted which gives a really well-rounded view of the match as a whole.]]> 2022-12-04 13:21:58 UTC https://padlet.com/davidrobbins1/vdabgd6ijqc1kym9/wish/2408000731 https://padlet.com/davidrobbins1/vdabgd6ijqc1kym9/wish/2408006195 https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/20602098/ukraine-news-latest-war-russia-putin/

I really enjoyed reading this live blog on The Sun's website as the topic is very interesting and important, and the updates posted are frequent and take the form of mini digestible articles (100-150 words) with tweeted statistics embedded and Twitter updates from bodies like the UK Ministry of Defence and the Kyiv Independent. 

The topic is an interesting read and covers in real-time the ways in which Russia's war in Ukraine is apparently failing and provides an update as of today, 4 December, that Russia has lost 91,000 troops since the invasion began. The updates are posted exactly 30 minutes apart and are a hive of seemingly up-to-date activity which the reader will find hard to resist returning to.]]> 2022-12-04 13:31:28 UTC https://padlet.com/davidrobbins1/vdabgd6ijqc1kym9/wish/2408006195 https://padlet.com/davidrobbins1/vdabgd6ijqc1kym9/wish/2409563448 https://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/jul/08/brazil-v-germany-world-cup-2014-semi-final-live-report

I mean, look at it. The five minutes alone in which germany scored four goals are delicously combined with the utter disbelieve of Berry Glendenning. 
Even if some of the quotes are only really possible in english sports journalism: "42.If Brazil were a horse, you'd throw a blanket over them, erect the green screens and do the humane thing"
