I don't know where "home" is, but in the US, at least 9 games including the title will be over the air on ABC and the rest will be on ESPN and ESPN2 of cable TV. Univision will broadcast all games over the air in Spanish. Most games will be live. !U-S-A! !Es-pa-ña!

I'd love to see Spain do well but let's face it - you're probably the biggest under-achievers ever! Always have a great team and a great chance but you ALWAYS disappoint!
Let's hope you do well though (as long as it's not at Englands expense!).
We here in England would rather see Spain win it than France or Germany!

Good luck!

Just been reading about all the good wishes for Spain and then I read the above!!!! Wow I am amazed! whats wrong if THESE Germans would have won??? Really I think this is a rather nasty remark toward France and Germany. I must talk with my English and my French Friends about this. Greg

Yes, Caminante, all World Cup matches will be broadcast live here in the States....AT 3AM!! Hope you have a flexible AM work schedule or a sympathetic boss.

In '94 the Cup was here in the USA, and I went to see Spain beat Bolivia 3-1 at Soldier Field. The game was typical futbol (long stretches of yawning punctuated by moments of thrilling action), but the crowds of Spaniards and Bolivians were out of sight. I'll never forget the marching crowds of Spanish fans heading down Michigan Ave. to the stadium, chanting and waving flags, yelling out challenges to groups of Bolivian backers. Hope those of you lucky enough to be heading to Japan & South Korea back Spain as loudly and as colorfully as then.

I posted this before in another message, but it seems more appropriate in this thread. Here's the schedule for the World Cup. Spain's first game is June 2nd and the USA's first game is June 16th:

Go USA!

I will have the pleasure of being in Madrid on June 2. What time (in Madrid) is the first game and will it be broadcast or pay per view??

Thanks!

The first US game is June 5 vs Portugal (I believe it's at 5:00 AM ET). I will lose sleep to see the US play. Hey it's only a few games every four years! Go USA! !Es-pa-ña!

I was referring to the first Spanish game (June 2). The FIFA schedule says game time is 20:30. Is that Seoul time? The World Clock says that Seoul is +7 hours relative to Madrid. So does that mean that the match starts at 13:30 Madrid time?

Kurt, I'll be there with bells on and I've already got my Spanish flag ready!!!! Look for me on the 12th (Spain vs. South Africa)! Maybe I'll take a sign or something...can someone think of anything catchy for the MM fans???? You KNOW I'll do it! And I'll scream like mad!

Caminante, I'll be at that match...not sure if you'll be able to see me with all the Americans there???

I don't know how big this is going to be but...my husband is playing for Spain in a FIFA friendly match in Seoul on the 1st of June. All the participating countries are going to be represented. I'll take my Spanish flag and be the crazy one on the sidelines (ready to go in if they need me)!

I'm living in Madrid, but don't have (or want to pay for) Via Digital to view the World Cup games for my countries (Ireland and England - if you wanted to know!).

As the games are on at 08:30/11:30/13:30 does anyone know if any big TV sports bars will be open at these times? I like a nice guiness but not usually at 8:30am, so I've got no idea!

Pity about Roy Keane...

I think some games are on TVE, or else every pub in the country. Spain starts against Slovenia, who's squad represents 25% of their population. The United States will, after catching Beverly Hills 90210 and a fine meal of Whoppers(TM), start against Korea, who I believe have sent their finest high school team to face them.
