FIFA WC 2014 Where to watch in your part of the world.

[tijuanabrass]

Here in Aus. It looks like as usual, SBS have all the games.
theworldgame.sbs.com.au/article/2014/05/16/brazil-coming-live-and-exclusive
Every match live, If there are clashes during the final group matches then SBS2 shows them with the replay on SBS 1 after the first game.
You can stream all matches on your android or IOS devices and the streaming site lets you pick multiple camera angles.

The match times may be barbaric but for free coverage you can't get fairer than that.

World cup is on the anti siphoning list. As is the FA Cup Final.

Awful coverage here in Italy, Sky have over 50% of the games exclusively and our version of the BBC has about 30-40% of the share. Should not be allowed...

Nice breakdown of US/Canadian coverage:

Only the 04:30 (for me ... 5:00 out on the East coast?) is just too hard (except maybe the England one). 05:30am out of bed is possible (depending on the games)

The 01:30 is all good (used to that) and the 7:30 and 10:30 are great times (for me) - So I should see a fair bit of it

Trust the bl**dy final to be 04:30am though!




The bloke who does the commentry on SBS (Les?) is retiring after this WC, I read - Done it since SBS took it from ABC in the 80s, apparently (Hungarian bloke by birth, or something). Thought he was OK in '10.

Great coverage, every game live in USA on ESPN and ESPN2 (standard channels for everyone). They may not cover the sport fairly but they get the World Cup right.

Standard channels only if you pay for a monthly cable or satellite subscription. I watch the Univision broadcasts. IMO much better commentators and you don't need to pay for it. You do have to understand Spanish though.

To paraphrase Mike Skinner.

I think you are really fit
SBS were pioneers, You're Pioneers, But my gosh don't you know it
