Much obliged! SBS is the only channel showing the world cup, they are the only Korean channel that have the broadcasting rights. Star sports won't show it either so the only way to get the games with English commentary is via streaming of the net or pubs in iteawon!

For those of you with and iPod touch/phone there is a pretty good app for the world cup schedule, it's in English and the times are all in KST

Has anyone heard of anything being laid on for games i.e large outdoor screens or late running tubes so people can get home etc?

won't they only be showing the Korean matches live though and then endlessy repeating them?
I made sure I got home for the World Cup having witnessed Korean TV coverage of the olympics. Good luck on catching any decent games though.

England's schedule is not great (if you're English). There's not much chance of me being awake, or sober enough if I am awake at 3.30am on a weekend night. However the midweek game on the 23rd is manageable.
I might even have to use one of my sick days on the 24th...

You English chaps should just get to bed early and save the anguish of losing to the Americans in the first game. Just think...England will be in a state of ruin after loosing to the yanks while there will be a barely audible "what, we had a soccer game?" coming from America.

Then the thoroughly distraught Brits will lose to Algeria, and finally tie Slovenia, making a quick exit from the cup. It'll be great!

The USA schedule is perfect...3:30 game Saturday night out drinking and chirping up the English, with midweek 11:00pm games. Talk about prime time.

You can also go to fifa.com and click the site's World Cup section. It'll post the local times on the schedule but in the upper right corner, you can click a button that automatically lists the times in your area, Korea.

The July 12th S.Korea-Greece game is on a Saturday night at 8:30 p.m. Seoul will be ROCKING that night (unless Korea loses).

The games are gonna be on the regular SBS channel right? (The one you get for free?)...rather than one of the SBS cable channels?

Free live streaming of all the games. Hooked it up to a projector in our hagwon yesterday and watched Japan v Korea haha.

Is there only one SBS? I have SBS as part of my Qook TV package, but there's never any sport on it
