I’m not much of a sports fan, so when I saw an island named MyWorldofSports my first reaction was, “meh.” Still, I decided to take a look and came away impressed.
The center of attraction is a stadium and soccer field. It was sadly empty when I got there (making for some easy goals) but the gameplay looks like fun if you can get enough people together. Click on a sign to get a free HUD and a shirt (either red or blue), click on the scoreboard and off you go. A ball will drop from the scoreboard.
The HUD animates a loping, kicking run for your avatar (if you remember to turn off your AO, oops), and seems to make the ball stick to you just enough to keep control over it (but not enough to keep someone from stealing it, I suspect). It also allows you some low and high kicks to make those game-saving goals.
The rest of the island is an impressive build, if a little sterile. I suspect that it is a work in progress and not fully up and running. There are lots of empty rooms which could presumably hold shops. Likewise, there is streaming video throughout the region that doesn’t seem to be working. That said, there’s nothing stopping you from starting a game right now.
