Halftime in Argentina-Nigeria

[corilannam]

It's funny how watching World Cup makes me happy like the Olympics used to, when the Olympics no longer do. It's that feeling of submersing oneself in international competition with all the intensity and passion. I think the difference is the truly crappy Olympic coverage we've been getting in the US the last couple of Olympiads. So far, ESPN

The BBC feeds, alas, are likely geographically locked for both TV and radio. That said, the live text can be fairly entertaining and it may be worth a try on the commentary!

World Cup! Whoo-hoo!!! :D

Yeah, BBC radio was one of the first things I tried yesterday, but it is sadly not available here. I can use a VPN to trick it at home, but I can't really do that at work.

The live text looks pretty cool, though--thanks for the heads up! I'll give it a try.

At least the England-US match is on the weekend!

I tried to get ESPN, but it didn't work at all, so I suspect it's blocked. I'm going to fool around with some other streaming options on Monday; hopefully something will work!
