In France, a private free channel broadcasted Brazil-Portugal, and a private €€ channel (you need to subscribe and pay 29€/month to get pack of channels related, good channels they are, but I don't intend to pay extra to my extra to get extra channels :razz: ) broadcasted CI-NK.


Ah, seems almost criminal that they show all the games in the US, where there's such a low fan base, and don't show the "Worlds game" around the world.

That's because they have more chances to get €€€ out of it here than in US due to lower fan base compared to here.

Iniesta.. :P


However that redcard is...another one among the imaginary faults. :neutral:
But it's not like Chile isn't pushing for yellow cards with agressive game..

That call was bs, but it looked like the same guy should have been sent off for an earlier foul that wasn't carded. Maybe the ref decided to give the Chilean one more chance and as soon as he saw Torres on the ground decided that was it.

Well played sir. I thought Spain and Switzerland would advance going into today's game, but Switzerland fell a little short.

Thanks to Switzerland, Honduras come back to home with a draw as final match, despite not having scored once.

Or for a more stable connection: http://nos.nl/wk2010/live/ (commentary in Dutch, just ignore that)




You'll need a bit of an attention span though. It's not as often interrupted as basketball matches. Or baseball matches. It's 2 times 45 minutes of unadulterated football. No advertisements in between. :-D

Second link seems not to work due to not being in Netherlands, or so I merely understand what error message says.

However first works, thanks alot for those links, at least we don't have to go thru those useless sites for hours before finding working one. :)
