I know most people I know/associate with could give a rip about World Cup or soccer… BUT I do! It’s probably a little known fact that I REALLY enjoy World Cup soccer! It’s probably because I’m a day-go wap! We are about 16 days away from the startWorld Cup 2006 in Germany.
WorldCup2006onTV is a cool website which lists when and on what channel for all 64 matches (it even has some basic javascript tricks).
This year ABC/ESPN/”The Ocho” will carry all 64 matches in HD!! I have all those channels (in HD) and a HD-DVR so I’ll be able to catch quite a few games this time! Lately I’ve been watching some Spanish League soccer on the WorldSport HD channel, and I must say soccer is a great sport for HD… the field is so large that the wide aspect (and extra definition) really compliment the sport well (especially when there are fantastic goal shots!) It’s also exciting to have a surround track with the crowd chanting for their team (in their language). You feel like you’re in the stadium!
My favorite team is Italy (FORZA! Azzuri!!) but my favorite country is USA and what gets me the most excited is they will meet on June 17th (my 27th birthday!). So I know what i’ll be doing during the first half (day) of my birthday! Fresh beer and a cool soccer match!
