Ultimate Football Results is an extension for the Google Chrome browser that brings football news to the web browser. The extension adds a single icon to the address bar of the browser upon installation. A click on that icon opens an overlay window with four information panels.

Each panel or frame can be configured individually to display the table, results or fixtures of a specific league or tournament. The extension supports all major and minor European leagues, from the English Premier League and the German Bundesliga to the Italian Series A, the Spanish Liga and the UEFA champions league and Europa League. It is all there.

Each frame can be configured individually to display table, results or fixtures for a specified league or tournament. Even better, a total of four tabs, each with four frames, can be configured in the options.

Football fans only interested in one league could for instance display all three in three different frames in the Home tab, add four European leagues under Europe, League One or Two in the Other tab and finally the FA cup, Champions League and European League under Knockout Cups.

First time users can configure the extension with a right-click on the icon and the selection of options. Here it is then possible to select a league or tournament and the type of news that should be displayed in the selected frame.

Some information that are presented in a frame can be clicked on. Game results for instance lead to game stats that list the goal scorers, bookings, match stats and links to text commentary of the game, the team list and the next result (that is the next game that has been played in that particular league or cup).

Ultimate Football Results is currently not including national teams, the World cup, Euro cup or any other cup that is played in the world with national teams. The extension lacks women football, non European leagues and lower divisions with the exception of League One and League Two. Adding those would certainly improve the extension further.

It sometimes takes a few seconds before the window is rendered and the results displayed. This can be a issue as there is no indication that news are loaded.

Google Chrome users can download and install Ultimate Football Results from the official Chrome Web Store.

Firefox users can try Footiefox which offers more leagues and countries, live notifications but less detailed information about each game.

The widget is compatible with Windows Vista and Windows 7 and will display a selection menu after installation. This selection menu displays various European countries (Germany, England, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, France and Ukraine) plus the Champions League and World Cup 2010 qualification (including non-European groups).

Selecting a country will display the standings of the main league of that country with the possibility to change to other leagues of that country. Each club is clickable in the league which will display the league results of the club.

The football results of the selected club lead to statistics that display various statistics including the win / tie / loss percentage, longest streak or highest results.

Champions League and World Cup 2010 Qualification use a slightly different display. They initially display the groups and a link to fixtures and results. A click on the group will display the group’s standings again with the possibility to display the matches of a specific club.

Many football fans will surely find this Windows widget to display football results and league standings useful. The UEFA Informer widget is available at the Deviant Art profile page of the developer.
