Those streaming websites are under great risk of being "slowed" down or worse filtered by our stinky ISPs.

Keep your updates on new source coming!!!!

The Veetle channels were initially good - especially the ESPN USA feed, which was crystal clear, but the English-broadcast ones (including ESPN) started dropping like flies (or is it "beetles" [:p] ) when "copyright claims" were apparently made. Meaning ESPN or FIFA or some other big fark sent Veetle a canned Cease and Desist order and they ran scared (so, to answer someone's question, this thing *is* illegal, but it's difficult to prosecute us end-users for infringement when it's streaming. So don't scared.).

 

In the end, I managed to fall back on my trusty (but often not so good-quality) link - http://www.firstrow.net/

 

The first link worked fine for me, and the quality was OK. I only watched the RSA-MEX match, and fell asleep in the second half, so missed the equaliser from Mexico. Still, a fairly boring match, except for the controversial goal in the first-half disallowed for supposed offside (it clearly wasn't).

 

Glad I didn't torture myself with the second match. Goal-less draws are so much fun...NOT!

 

u're a saviour!

At least 10 channels updated at all times.

 

again, without need for software plugins.

 

I tried a few sites and this is best so far. Very clear and commentary are in English. Will be watching England/USA game later on at this site again on my Mac Book. The resolution was good even I watched it in full screen. By the way, Argentina should have won by at least 3 goals, if not for the miracle performance by Nigeria goalkeeper, who have save 3 clear shot by Messi.

Completely f-up goalkeeping by England. Not acceptable for WC standard. :angry:

Actually US playing very well, I won't be surprise if they win.

Yeah, they would've deserved it, but only because England has scrappy and erratic play. But you can clearly see flashes of real class among the individual English players, which the Americans largely lack.

 

Regardless of the draw, I consider this a moral defeat for England, because the goal Green let in was a juvenile error (I can see a secondary school player being scolded for a mistake like that). It completely takes away the magic of the English goal (which was actually very nice to watch). Sigh...

Once again, you're welcome, bro. And thanks to others who suggested so many alternatives, have nice choice on the different commentaries, etc. I think we've proven something over the last 2 days by watching these matches for free. And the best part is, even after paying for it, a lot of S***T** subscribers didn't even get a good quality feed! i think we did a lot better for free - keep up the good work. [laugh]
