Pretty much all of the BBC stuff is only available within the UK -- have tried most every football event, as well as the Grand National, and never had any luck.

If you follow the links through Five Live, I'm pretty sure World Cup coverage is similarily restricted --

However, I did't actually TRY to listen to the game, it doesn't start for another 20 minutes. But I don't have my hopes up...

I'm listening to the prematch build up at the moment so that at least is available here, I would hope they are not going to cut the feed the moment the game starts. I know that a lot of the BBC feed is only available within the UK, have tried to listen to F1 there but no luck, for the moment anyway this seems OK

I posted this link elsewhere, but there's an online feed for ESPN2 at www.viidoo.com/en/index.php. According to others, we'll be able to see their live World Cup broadcasts at this site. I didn't try it for the first two games, but I'll be watching tonite to see if it works.

Well . . . I am getting tired of the Korean guys. I am now willing to pay money to listen to live games in English via internet while watching on TV. Anyone know where I can PAY for this?

I spent most of yesterday trying to find any online English radio, and the only thing I could find is XM radio (satellite radio). You have to be a suscriber, I think it said $7 / month, but I also think I remember a free 3-day trial. If you have someone at home who has XM satellite radio in their car, perhaps you can try their customer number and log in as them?

streamtv has it. I watched the Netherlands-Serbia game on the BBC feed. When I was away from my computer I had the audio turned up and turned down the volume on the Korean feed, a few seconds off but not that bad

3 euros/month well worth it
