Google takes users inside 2014 World Cup stadiums

Can't make it to Brazil for the 2014 World Cup this summer? Google Street View has you covered. The virtual mapping folks at Google have created a World Cup web page that allows users to take a virtual tour of each of the country's 12 World Cup venues.
Users are placed in the center circle of any stadium they click on and, like any Street View interface, can then select many directions to move the vantage point.
The World Cup kicks off June 12 when host country Brazil takes on Croatia in Arena Corinthians in Sao Paulo.
United States soccer fans can check out the stadiums in which the Americans will play in the group stage of the World Cup: Estadio das Dunas in Natal (June 16 vs. Ghana), Arena Amazonia in Manaus (June 22 vs. Portugal) and Arena Pernambuco in Recife (June 26 vs. Germany).
