Has anyone else found the ABC/ESPN World Cup coverage completely unwatchable? Thank goodness for Univision.

I watch univision until there's a foul...then I switch to ESPN2 because there's that wonderful 5 to 8 second delay. I can then hear what happened in English, and then switch back to the excitement.

Yeah man, it sucks.

I tried to get a streaming commentary from BBC but have been unlucky even when using an English proxy.

I enjoy reading the commentary provided by Guardian which Nathan showed me. There's been some real classics, especially during the England vs T&T game.

60 min: ROONEY HAS KICKED THE BALL! He has kicked it. England will win the World Cup now, no worries. That's right, isn't it? “I think it's beyond dispute that Sven is worth every penny of his multi-million pound salary,” suggests Roger Foster. “To turn a team that looks sort of decent on paper into a bunch of totally clueless headless chickens takes a rare sort of talent.”

69 min Beckham slings in a ball from the right. It finds Crouch six yards out. I'm not even going to bother describing what happened next.
