heh does us tv suck that much that it doesnt have any free channels showing the wc? :/

No, a few US channels will transmit all the games live. From the top of my head, there's ESPN, ESPN2, and ABC, followed by a few channels geared to the Hispanic community, such as Univision.

Well, i know its hard to believe, but none of the channels i have will be transmitting the WC, i have to order the special sports package (cable sucks big time here)... :pinch:

I'm surprised that barely anyone in the USA covers the World Cup. Especially considering that they did pretty well the last time! We did have news reports here in the UK headlined along the lines of...

"USA are doing really well in the World Cup, but does anyone in the USA know about it, or actually even care!"

If World Cup matches weren't shown live on free-to-view TV here in the UK there would be mass public outrage! :laugh:

BBC did show the Commonwealth Games live on bbc.co.uk but I think licensing issues are gonna be a little more stringent for Football.

Yes there is.

u will need to install certain software and it works only in IE for me.

Seems like someone is streaming it from their cable/sat provider, because I clicked to watch ENG V JAM when it wasn't showing.. and I got some weird oriental baseball show.. and it took forever to buffer, would only allow me to watch about 20 seconds before the buffer was empty and playback paused.

Get 10 people trying to watch a match on this and it's going to be a better experiance trying to listen to a radio station online when the WC Matches are being played. (like BBC 5 Live through a UK Proxy...)

BBC will be airing every match online, they will also be providing a five minute highlight video clip of every single game!

Not every match. Only the matches that the BBC will be airing on TV.

From the BBC Website:

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

Those matches broadcast by ITV will not be broadcast online.

Hi guys, i was wondering if there is a free web site where i can watch the world cup live, my cable has a sports channel but all they show is hockey, they wont show the World Cup... (yes im in Canada).

Thanks

Why do you choose to slander Canada with lies, Sure, hockey is The # 1 sport here, but every World Cup match will be broadcast on Television on our basic cable sports :angry: network, it will be available everywhere. I just finished watching the England match on free tv in Toronto, (omni channel 69). c'mon get with it. In this part of the country, the World Cup is huge, much bigger than the Stanley cup finals...yawn!!! edmonton vs Carolina. And I am a huge hockey fan.

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
