Financial Football



Landon Donovan and Brian McBride helped ring the opening bell of the New York Stock Exchange on Wednesday as Visa kicked off a new financial educational game using soccer. Financial Soccer in the US and Financial Footballl in the UK is geared around Visa's commitment to worldwide financial intelligence. I tried the game out and crushed the UK (yes, it's the UK in the game) by answering all the hard questions (disclaimer: I work in finance). I have to admit, if you ever wanted to take your financial literacy into your own hands, then this is a place to start.

Here's video of the opening bell from yesterday.


And here's the game in action.
