Very annoying indeed. But kudos to them for streaming it live for free on their website.

don't they also have the Italian dude? or is that the same guy?

Originally posted by fastmp3 dude the commentary here is lame, the english one is standard (it comes with the feed, british dude who's so boring as if he was commenting a golf game), the french one ... no comment (belgian dude + a chick)

dunno if canadas getting the games on espn but over here, every game no matter who the commentator, they have to refer to the USA atleast once.

Even after the Italy-Australia game, the commentators go, this reminds me of the dubious penalty ghana got against the US and i spoke to dutch media yesterday and even they agree it was wrong

With regard to this game, i never though a penalty shootout could be so boring *yawn*. Wanted to see ukraine go through so happy bout that.

Ukraine are lacking creativity, good to get through but Italy will be even tougher to score on.

Yeah, he's the only decent one of the bunch, along with Wynalda. Other than that, the rest of their tream is crap.

I watched the entire game today from my office I think they just started doing this today, as that feature was not available yesterday. Free online streaming of ESPN broadcasts till July 19th on ESPN 360, so that covers the rest of the World Cup and more

link ? keep watching the WC and we won't see you in july

i don't think there's a direct link to the player. but at the top of the espn.com website, there's a whole shitload of espn options to choose from. 360 is towards the right.
