Look at that, more evidence of bribery and corruption regarding Qatar 2022... Prediction, they yank it from them (finally) and give it to the USA with Atlanta as one of the flagship cities.

I just had this image of a haka at the beginning of a football match in Oz. That would scare the pants off those male model diving specialists But yeah thanks for the links. Seems pretty god and dried to me (not that there was any doubt in the first place)

This is why the event should only be held in stable countries on a rotation. USA, UK, China, Russia, Australia, and maybe a few others.

Despite being corrupt, they are one of the world powers. I don't believe they can't manage it.

Spain, Brazil or Germany are who I would pick (probably in that order). Rooting for USA and England. And Croatia for today because fuck Brazil.

Yeah it was shoddy in places. I can't imagine it's going to be better in Brazil.
The one thing Russia can do is safety. They can put their boot on this shit. Same thing with China. Same thing here. My main concern isn't the comfort of the participants as much as it is the fans, and people not getting murdered.

Are there any sites streaming these matches in the US that aren't spamfests?

I am going with Germany this year because I know fuckall about soccer and always pull the picks out of my ass. Deep down, I really want Japan to win for some reason.

I think ESPN.go.com does but only if you have an account with one of their partner ISP's like Comcast.

If you can handle listening to Mexican announcers (hint, even if you don't speak Spanish it is better than John Harkes and his ilk on ESPN) Univision streams everything for free until the quarterfinals.

Perfect. Thanks. I'm going to search for a german equivalent. My comprehension of german is a bit better than my spanish.

Looks like Twitter has some decent customization for WC-related feeds. Anyway, here is the "official" one for the first match (people are posting a nice amount of pictures from the stadium): https://twitter.com/hashtag/BRAvsCRO

It would appear ESPN3's feed has already crapped out.

Opening ceremony surely was "nothing to write home about" as you guys say in english, but hey, they only had 20-25 minutes; enjoyed the dancing parts, and everything was pleasantly very colourful :D. Also, I can't remember a longer gap between the ceremony itself and the kick-off. Oh, and I prefer Shakira. Gief Shakira the world cup song 'til she's a 90 yrs old granny, plz.

Also Modric looks like a 18 yr old with no hair. I kept forgetting it was him on my grainy feed.
