Official World Cup Soccer Thread

Found a good article relating each world cup team to an American sports team, interesting and worth a read.

Each team has a good little bio.

All opinion obviously.

i liked it

Looking forward to hours of 1-0 snore fests. At least once it's over ESPN won't have to act like anyone in America gives a shit about soccer for 4 more years. And I won't have to hear about it.

So you can get back to watching 11 minutes of football over 3 hours?

Can't wait! Go USA! Gooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaal!

Or watching basketball games where the players just mail it in until the last two minutes and then spend 45 minutes dragging the game out with fouls...

You have to have serious instant gratification issues to like a game that has each team scoring 120 points.

Does anyone here have Bell Expressvu? How are you watching the games? Will there be something I can subscribe to to make sure I can watch the games I want after work?

How'd we do last time? I think we won one game... because the other team scored on themselves.

I can't TIVO a game if I don't have the system, or a channel to record.

I know that they broadcasted a few games, but there was rarely the game that I wanted to watch, and they were usually on when I'm at work.

CBC will be streaming the games as well, unfortunately the games are on at 7:30am, 12:30 and 2:30 i believe...

What do you mean? They are both in the tournament and he addressed them both.

 

[Blackjack200]

Anyone know who has the broadcast rights in the US? I might sign up for cable just to watch the tournament and I want to make sure I get the right channels.

Pretty good list and I agree with most of it. The one I disagree with is France=Duke.

Damn, now I wish I had cable. Hopefully the big torrent trackers will be quick with the uploading. Also, I will need to avoid news.google.com for the next month. Too easy to see the scores in Sports, under Tech/Science.

ESPN I beleive, then probably NBC for the late round stuff
