Is anyone having Luck Watching the World Cup Online?

I read that Globo (a brazilian company) bought the rights from FIFA to show live matches online.

Their website is: http://www.globo.com

Don’t know spanish, so don’t know what the site says or what the deal is. Good luck.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO you have failed me Razzle! We talk brazilian portuguese, not spanish. :P

Anyways, I’ll visit the page tomorrow, if globo.com has some link for video streaming I’ll paste it here.

Just checked. From what I gather, only people in Brasil can access video from that site. I was blocked.

Also, stay away from satellitepcchannels.com
it’s a total rip off.

Typical mistake. Here in Brazil we speak PORTUGUESE. Same language that Portugal, but a bit different. They speak a lot faster and some words just mean other stuff. Like ‘Bicha’ there is a line of people. Here ‘bicha’ is a gay man.

We can understand some Spanish, because most words have the same origin, but if they speak fast I can barely understand anything.

Brazil speaks PORTUGUESE!!! C’mon, people! Didn’t you see ‘The Simpsons go to Brazil’?

About the post, thank God I don’t need to watch anything from the internet. We have at least 2 channels showing all the games. Globo and SporTV (cable also from Globo).

that chinese israeli site works well enough.

the one bob used for the exhibition games before the wc.

livefooty.doctor.serv or something like that…i always have to go find the link on wcb.

Globo.com -> I’ve just checked now again and apparently it’s only for subscribers. I’ll let you know if there’s anything available tomorrow (Australia vs Japan!) but it seems like it isn’t the case.

I’ve been using this site as of today. There are apparently 4 channels you can choose. Chinese, German, Arabic, and one unknown(because nothing comes up on it). The Chinese one is so far teh best one out the the 4 mainly because it seems to be the ONLY one working. Yeah. To make it even worse every few seconds it needs to buffer…but hey at least you can see some of the game between buffering.

The German site just continues with it’s splash screen and nothing else. That’s a dud. The Arabic one same thing. Dud. The unknown one, well, in that it you can see that the server is trying to link up to a stream but dies out.

This is the only one so far that I have seen that works. Sorry friends!

some general tips on the site below, it’s one of the most popular pages on the web right now…

search tvu player on google and download it ;) and watch wc2006 for free!!!!

tvuplayer is good. the resolution isn’t very good. but, for a live stream it’s great since there isn’t any lag (not with my connection anyway – a crappy 5MB down)

NinJ, i went to your link but there’s nothing on it about Mac. crap, I know i’m gonna regret buying a Mac someday. anyway, any tips for Mac user?
thanx.

Http://www.terra.com.br is showing live all the games online.

http://www.tvants.com
works very well

Since so many of you are witing from china, you really should use PPPLive. You can watch the world cup from about 8 different channels inc. ESPN, starsports and CCTV5. English version is available- just look up on google. I hear PPPLive also works abroad (but I haven’t tested, yet). Good Luck!

I am in the UK and have tried the BBC coverage online, after 15 mins the picture hadn’t move once. PANTS

the site http://www.footballstreaming.info/forums/index.php
might have something for you but it’s pretty involved. good luck!

http://www.findinternettv.com lists some sites that broadcast the world cup online.

I was able to from work on Friday – God bless the Chinese! But at home I’ve been unsuccessful in finding a streaming video solution for my Mac. Any suggestions?

Yes and no…my ISP at home carries ESPN360, but they’re not showing all the games each day and PC remote control isn’t broad enough to pass video back to the monitoring side so I can’t watch from work via my home PC. Their stream is good if you can get it, though. I had one of those Chinese pirate streams going for a bit on Friday, bit it must have collapsed under load and was lost for the rest of the mathc. Funny that nearly 15 years since the explosion of the web that the most important sporting event on the planet is still not easily accessible in streaming format online.

Somebody knows where could we LISTEN TO the world cup games online ?.

^I like how most of these are ads that don’t really allow you to watch the games unless you want to download applications that maybe ridden with various viruses.

Africa involved into results of World Cup 2006.
According to unexpected results of the football matches, african magicians are working hard in their magic area.
See the results on http://www.voodoo4football.com
Is it possible in our modern life?

¡España va a golpear el asno con el pie, nosotros gobierna!!!

I watch at http://www.streamtvnow.com – 3-400 kbps streams.. Costs 3 euros for a month..

I cant work with any program..i dont know if something is locking the signal or whatever.. I am portuguese and with tvants i only can see some channels and world cup nope..also other sites dont work and other programs like tvuplayer cant detect the server..dont know how to solve the problem

I use TVUPlayer to watch the World Cup games.
It only works if your internet connection permits P2P.
Some days you have the games on ESPN2 others on ABC, and you can also watch on CCTV5

MAke shore your firewall isn’t blockin the TVU Player. i Use it from Lisbon and it works fine.

to LISTEN live. Not “official”…but it does sound pretty good

hey anyone know where i can watch the matches that i missed? all your links are about watching live

The VooDoo question on June 13 is ridiculous. Its for gullible people. I’m African, its about African sportsmanship and skill. Realize that!

I hope some of these works…

oh man tvuplayer is sooooooooooooooooooooooo good and it works too!
