World Cup games will be broadcasted online

"All of the BBC's 2006 World Cup matches will also be broadcast exclusively live on the BBC Sport website."

[ BBC Sport ]


There is a god. Although the article says that "The service will be available to UK broadband users and will mirror terrestrial and interactive coverage." The statement doesn't not restrict the viewing to british broadband users ONLY. And if it does i'm sure someone will have find a way to hack around that. I will follow this very closely post any updates. I pray that they are alot of american soccer geeks (oxymoron...i know) that will work a hack if necessary.

Sport guy goes over the top

I love everything ESPN; the commercials, Sportcenter, PTI,
front page (finally starting to get used to the redesign), Page 2, and even
Page 3.  Their covering of “sporting” events is usually second to none;
from bowling to curling, including ice skating.  This year, they decided
to have a live coverage of the 75th Annual Spelling Bee Competition taking
currently taking place in DC.  And I can understand why... most of ESPN
addicts (like me and my friends) are at work at that time and really only stay
at home mom and dads are currently watching.  But I can not understand why
the sport guy has a live running diary of it.  I can take running rants
about poker (and various form of betting gambling) on us, I can take the
rants about Sport Mom and Sport Gal but I can't take a running diary of the
Spelling Bee.  Is that really necessary?  To invest any amount of
time to the Spelling Bee competition at the Eve of the worlds' biggest sport
event (the FIFA World Cup) is sacrilegious... To spend in even an ounce of a
second writing about online should be criminal.  So I'm back to boycotting
the sport guy till covers more soccer (MLS and foreign leagues) and dedicates
the live running diary to the world cup final in a month.
