Even the cable-deprived should be allowed to watch it a little. :cry:

2. Got broadband?
Because the BBC are streaming all the games over the net.

The catch is that the terms of the BBC's deal to stream the games means that they can only be streamed to people in the UK so you'd have to find a proxy server in the UK that you could use to fool the BBC's verification system into believing that you're here in the UK.

The rights to stream the games over the net were sold to every country, so there's even a chance that there's a US source for the games on the net.

3. ABC on the weekends.
Or your local Univision station.

7. ABC.
But, I believe, only on the weekends. Check out www.abc.com for the schedule. I'm fairly certain the US match on Saturday will be on ABC.

I think this is the first time that all 64 matches are played on US TV thanks to ESPN, ESPN2 and ABC.

10. ABC broadcasts SOME of the games.
The other games you'll have to catch on the Spanish-language channel Univision (assuming that's broadcast in your area).
