I loved the Korean game, that was fun to watch.
And when Argentina played, they beasted like the first 10 minutes, they were really fast, but they slowed down after that first goal.
I hate how the world cup is in Africa, and I hate living in the west coast.
Waking up at 4 in the morning to watch a game = lame.

It makes it a LITTLE easier being on the East coast...lol

But man....I dunno....that goal by the USA today was real petty.

Only a few more hours till the excitement picks up again. I seriously cannot hold still

Aha yea I'm excited too.
Especially for Germany and Australia, that's getting me all pumped up.
Hopefully I can stay up until 4 in the morning.
And holy shit, I just realized it's 1:18 in the morning.
Yay for summer break!

Well there's always buzkashi! But apparently the Taliban gave that up for real war, with real weapons.
Native American lacrosse is pretty violent too. Cherokees use two small sticks, basically no rules, anything goes. In the old days people died. Northern tribes called it the little brother of war.

This is the only World Cup where I am not rooting for one specific team.

But, I would like to see Brazil, Spain, Italy, Germany, Argentina[font="sans-serif"][size="3"][size=2] and Portugal to go at it. [/size][/size][/font]

Dang, I may have to do that. I've missed a couple games. Really just watched Germany/Aus most the way through... then we had to go hiking on the beach. We aren't recording any/many games this time around, so I think the web is in order. Thanks porkie :D

Apperently if you want to replay them after you need to be with a ESPN3 partner service provider... Which is comcast and verizon.
I'm charter, but my brother is comcast and he just lets me use his login.

But here are a bunch of sites compiled on the computer forum that I'm often on.

[url="http://espn.go.com/espn3/"]ESPN 3[/url] is the online streaming version of the popular sports network in the U.S.A. Their upcoming live streaming schedule includes the kick-off on June 10th, the opening ceremonies on June 11th followed by the FIFA World Cup matches. According to the NY Times, ESPN 3 will be streaming all 64 games.

[url="http://proxy.espn.go.com/mobile/products/product?id=3242441"]ESPN Mobile TV[/url] will be streaming the kick-off, opening ceremonies and 56 world cup matches including semifinals and final to Sprint customers on the new HTC EVO smartphone, according to MarketWatch.

[url="http://www.cbc.ca/sports/soccer/fifaworldcup/"]CBC Sports[/url] is Canada’s national public broadcaster. The CBC Sports website states “Between June 11th and July 11th 2010 watch every game streamed LIVE on CBCSports.ca”.

[url="http://www.optus.com.au/"]Optus[/url] is the #2 Australian telecommunications carrier and will be live streaming 2010 World Cup matches for free to customers with compatible 3G mobile devices.

[url="http://www.tvunetworks.com/"]TVU Networks[/url] is a live streaming Internet TV platform and, according to Ask MetaFilter, should be carrying the 2010 World Cup.

[url="http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport/"]BBC Sport[/url] states that “All BBC matches will be available to watch live online in high quality video” according to this article, which also contains a schedule of which matches are on the BBC and which will be on iTV.

[url="http://www.itv.com/sport/football/fifaworldcup/live/"]iTV[/url] is the biggest commercial television network in the UK. According to their FIFA World Cup Live description they will have select content from all 64 games, and be broadcasting live any matches that iTV carries.


I know iTV is for UK people only..but i'd investigate each site and see if you can get them working.

Well if you're lucky enough to have a sprint phone (palm pre here!) You have FREE streaming access to ESPN to watch wherever you are!

Denmark JUST scored an own goal to put the Netherlands ahead 1-0 at the beginning of the 2nd half.

I am super excited for Brazil to play tomorrow. Too bad I'm gonna be busy. Drinking!
I haven't been able to watch too many games because I've been busy, but hopefully tomorrow I can catch a break to watch. If not get updates on my phone.

Some good games so far and that Switzerland upset of Spain was awesome. Felt bad for South Africa though, that red card on their goalie was a bogus call.
