My Footie Pool results have taken a sharp dive as I continue to get things massively wrong, woe. I guess betting against Brazil out of spite will do that, though. Tomorrow: England vs Trinidad&Tobago, which, looking at the pictures of T&T's last game, promises to be a very sexy match. That team is just filled with eyecandy. (What? I'm deep like a kiddie pool, yes.) The match will be kicking off at 18:00 local time, which is 17:00 BST, 12:00 (noon) Eastern, and 09:00 Pacific. I will be expecting people in chat this time!

Also, on behalf of hokage, anyone know where a USAian could get a live feed for the matches online? Google is uncooperative.

http://broadband.espn.go.com/broadband/EBB2/web/shellMain is possibly worth ago, but it depends on his/her ISP. (Radio)

The BBC is streaming live video of the matches but only to UK users. However there are gateway websites out there that would allow you to appear as a UK user...not that I would condone such behaviour...it's just information.

I think she's looking for video, yeah, so I'll pass on the info re: gateway sites ... so she knows what not to do, of course. :D

The BBC feeds are limited to the UK only, and a website that was reselling a Sky (I think) feed got shut down /yesterday/.

They might find copies of matches on Demonoid, but I doubt there'll be any live streams.

i heard there were a few sites you could use if you paid for them... i'll get back to you on that one, though. :x

Your excellent theory is failing with the pool OMG?!

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Well, the ones I was wrong on were purely guessed ones, not ones where I applied the Theory. (I was going to look up all the teams and make it all scientific and shit, but I couldn't be arsed.)

You know, and this really should've occured to me earlier, cause it's a bit too late now, but this would have been an excellent opportunity for a Ficathon Pool or something. Ah well, I'll try and remember it for the Europa Cup.

[carelessmemory.livejournal.com]

Oh, okay, I'm glad the Theory is holding then. :)

You need to think about those things sooner!!! Good thing there's always the next cup.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Yep, and also, any Brazil game is exempt from the Theory, or rather, the Theory itself excludes anything involving Brazil. :)

[carelessmemory.livejournal.com]

You're really not too fond of Brazil, are you? ;P

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Well, it's more that they forced me to adapt my Theory, and they're CHEATS! Bastards.

I guess you haven't seen my footy pool disaster thus far yet:


That's 9 points thus far. You get three points for guessing the correct result, instead of just the win/loss

Further:

Games are definitely appearing on Demonoid: http://tinyurl.com/k5pmp

It's not the same as streaming, but better than nothing.

This /seems/ to be a player to let you watch it via ESPN2: http://www.demonoid.com/files/details/371496/

No idea if it works, but a Google search suggests that it might.

Thanks, I'll pass those on!
