OK, it's a meaningless game, but the Costa Rica-Paraguay game is not being aired. They are showing the Swiss-Togo and SK-France match, but on the regular SBS & MBC channels, no game. I don't mind so much about this game, but will start showing games only relevant to Korea's prospects from now on?

Relax,

games start 1600 german time an hour later than what has been the norm until now.

11:00 pm coverage should start. Go Paraguay!!!!

Paraguay plays at 4 am our time and they're going home regardless, and their opponent Trinidad & Tobago are mathematically in it but shouldn't hold their breath. That game is at the same time as England-Sweden, both of whom are going to the next round, jostling to take the top seed. Which game will be worth seeing? Their opponents in the second round will be 11 pm tonight duo: Germany-Ecuador. I expect Ecuador and Germany to win in the round of 16. Though if it's an England-Germany second round matchup, that'd be a riot! (and I mean that in every sense)

Only half placated--on 3 different channels, they showed Germany-Ecuador. Not a single one played the CR-POL game.

Anyone know which game they will show today from:
NED-ARG
IC-S&M

and

MEX-POR
IRN-ANG

I assume they will play the most relevant game--but come Thursday, where both games are relevant to the outcome (Group E), which will they show?

ITA-CZH
or
USA-GHA?

Anyone able to find out which games will be shown live and which ones not? As I'd like to be able to see both games without catching a "spoiler."

Thanks

Really? Because yesterday and the day before, they only showed one game at 11. On three channels.

I know they PLAY at the same time, but want to know which game will be shown on television at 11.
