In addition to the Internet rights, ISMG will have the Text Messaging rights inside the stadium in Paraguay.

This is important to note as sponsorship revenues are a driving component with all sporting events. This high level international soccer match is ideal for ISMG to capitalize upon with our new 'Soccer Alert' text messaging campaigns and internet TV services. With our previously announced live Internet broadcast match between Boca Juniors and Millionarios, this match obviously gives our investors and shareholders a good snap shot of the direction we are moving into in the future, in terms of our efforts of promoting high quality International Soccer Matches worldwide, which translates into hard dollars. We are very excited about our future prospects and look forward to continuing to build our library of soccer matches -- both live and archived -- for our subscribers."
