So you’re a soccer (or ‘football’ as the rest of the world calls it) fan.  You want to watch the 2010 World Cup, but have no idea where to look.

While soccer is not the most popular sport over here in the United States, it is very important to the rest of the world.  ESPN (in their increasing effort to try and get Americans more interested) are trying to bring the spectacular event to our networks.  Not only can you watch the games on your televised ESPN channel, but you can also catch them online at ESPN360.com or the many apps (like those from the Fox Soccer Channel, Goal.com, or The Associated Press) that feature live updates on scores and news.  ESPN radio will also be giving live play-by-play broadcasts.

The 2010 World Cup is being held in South Africa, so there will be a time delay for Americans to watch the game.
