World Cup Coverage

June 10, 2010

Where ever your allegiance lie in the coming weeks, despite your apparent dislike for soccer, most people will at one stage or another sit down to watch some World Cup soccer.

It will be everywhere, and I mean everywhere, for example RTE 2;

will start Friday at 1pm showing the opening ceremony.
at 3pm South Africa v Mexico
at 7pm Uruguay v France ( you have to hand it to them )

Then Saturday;

coverage starts at 12pm.
at 12.30pm South Korea v Greece
at 3pm Argentina v Nigeria
at 7pm England v USA
between the 3pm game and the 7pm game there’s the Saturday game, just for those who need their GAA fix.

The pattern continues up to Sunday the 11th of July, although the last 2 weeks will have significantly less matches on. Along with RTE, BBC and ITV will have similar coverage.

Below are the web pages from each of the major TV network which are dedicated to the World Cup. If your looking for a well laid out calendar chichi out the BBC one, it’s the easiest to read at a glance. The last link is an interactive chart that once you place your mouse over the; team, date stadium or group, it shows you the relevant match date and time.

So lastly it’s important to remember, Football is not not a matter of life or death, it’s much more important than that.
