Thanks! I am in South Jersey, close to Phili, only way I can watch the matches is to go down to Phili. I will do that for the important matches for sure... Pat,

You really do hang around the blogsphere, don’t you? Thanks!

I am in South Jersey, close to Phili, only way I can watch the matches is to go down to Phili. I will do that for the important matches for sure…

Wonder where in god's forsaken country do you live (BTW, congrats! read somewhere that you got in the PhD program) Anyway, check out the <a href="http://www.live-footy.co.nr/" rel="nofollow">Chinese pirate link</a> and hope that it still works when the World Cup gets underway.

In my little town, no one seems to have heard of the game called football. Wish I was on the other campus which has a much larger number of international students. Do you know any site which is planning to carry the game live on the net? I am checking on the bars but.... Patrix,

Brazil definitely looks most likely to win except now they have won it far too many times and is getting boring now. There are more upsets in the Euro Cup than in the World Cup. <strong> Somebody</strong>, I can totally understand your pain. At least the WC was held in the US in '94. But I see the interest in 'soccer' growing ever so gradually and thankfully to a large body of international students in college towns, it isn't so bad.

i wonder how woefully out of touch you would be if you were still around in this godforsaken part of the world three worldcups from now.

Am excited about the World Cup. Thankfully, we have a pretty diverse population here in the Triangle area of NC and a lot of bars are carrying the game live (many have advertised the schedules outside). Right now, a friend and I are trying to figure out imaginative ways of slipping out of work in the afternoons/mornings to catch some games in the nearby bars. Otherwise will have to DVR the games and resist the temptation to check the internet till I have chance to see the games in the evenings. Watching the games with friends or at least a groups of loud supporters is really exciting. Btw, England is one team I would <em>least</em> like to win. I hate their whininess. As I menitoned over at DP, Brazil probably has the best chance of winning. Patrix – totally share the enthusiasm for football. Am excited about the World Cup.
