Hi Everyone,

What US channels will be showing England Games? Does anyone have a schedule of what England games will be shown or know of a website where I can get a Schedule. I have heard that they will be shown on all different channels?

Hope you can help,

Cheers
Neil
I understand that ABC/ESPN have the US rights to the World Cup. I also understand that they will be showing most (90%) live. Thank got their not onpay per view, it'd cost me a fortune. Not sure aboutt a schedule tho.

Here you go

Damn, I beat you to it but I guess you win by posting a link that actually works. smile

I've just noticed that the link that I posted (still don't understand why it doesn't work, perhaps you can try cut and pasting it) differs slightly from the one that Mr Underpants posted. One important difference being that the England - Sweden game is scheduled to be shown on tape delay at 330 p.m on June 2nd. If this is true then I may have to go nearly ten hours trying not to find out the score before I watch it. I know this will be easier to do in the US than it would be in the UK but a certain episode of the likely lads certainly springs to mind.
This came up a couple of months back.

Here is the link to the topic. Basically, 100% of games would be on live spread over ESPN, ESPN2, NBC and ABC because they are all on late at night so not likely to clash with anything.

England's opening round games are spread across two channels (all times EST).
vs Sweden 3.30am on ABC
vs Nigeria 2.30am on ESPN2
vs Argentina at 7.30am on ESPN2

Come on lads.

:lol: :lol: I remember that episode too. It was soooo funny. Especially in the end where they pay up because they think they lost but in actual fact the game was postponed! Those were the days.

Make sure you don't come and look on here because there is bound to be someone who posts the score up! :grin:

Try http//www.soccertv.com. It details all the footy shows on TV too.

Hi guys,
Thanks for that..I was wondering on this link http//espn.go.com/soccer/wctvschedule.html
if you knew what (tape) means..as next to the England vs Sweden June 2nd 3.30 pm ET ABC it has (tape) do you know what that means?

Does it just mean repeat? or something..will the England game really be on at that time?

Cheers

Tape means 'Tape Delay' e.g. not live. Fox do that a lot when a game was live on pay per view but they still have rights to show a taped version of it later that day or later in the week.

I imagine ABC reckon they will get a bigger audience for an England match on a Sunday afternoon, rather than early on a Sunday morning. Disappointing as I thought all games would be on live sad
hey Pilgrim... Dont Despair.. Its only ..'taped' on ABC... You can still see it live on ESPN 2.

CMON ENGLAND
