I'm in work, watching on the ITV website, a quick registration process was all it took.
 
If I was at home I'd be watching it on ITV, ch 103 on sky

It's great RTE have every game but then you risk having to listen to Ger Canning or f**king Adrian Eames if the game isn't on BBC.
 
Eames has been particularly sh*te in the Swiss-Brazil game and the Croatia wan on Saturday.
 
Stephen Alkin yesterday as well was as fooking patronizing towards Mexico bigging up that is was a massive shock to beat the Germans.  It wasn't.  Mexico are consistently strong, skillful and on their day can and have beaten anyone.
 
While I'm glad I don't have to listen to Glenn Hoddle on ITV, the likes of Gah head Canning, the useless Eames and Alkin's Mexico performance, the commentators are really getting on my tits.

Just when you think the pundits can't get any worse on ITV, along comes Patrice Evra
 
There's no real need for four pundits on for every game. They take two ad breaks at half time so each one probably only speaks for about 20 seconds

Yeah way too many pundits.

I actually think Evra was trying to get the ride and hence the compliments.

This thing of referees being pundits has really, really gone too far. Everytime Clattenburg appears on ITV I switch stations. Between him, Evra, Wright and Tyldesley the whole thing is a sh*t show.

Russia Today are using the same people in their studio, the host and Mourinho as the pundit.

The annoying thing is that Sky have everyone in the mental health and body language field watching on as they're absolutely desperate for him to say something controversial so they can make a headline out of it.
It became obvious when they made the headline for Saturday with "Mourinho blames De Gea for error" and all he said was he knows it's his fault LOL

voted for 50% of the games, but have watched everything so far. the main issue is getting around the fact that your missus doesn't want to watch every single match, but how to be polite and tell her that that's how it is for the month

No need to be polite, it's once every four years.  She needs to put up or shut up. Thumbs Up
 
Thankfully Mrs FW is grand with my absence for the next few weeks.

That's alright now and again, but its hard to beat watching it on a big screen totally live, and not a minute or so behind like most streams, websites or apps

Have a tv in the gaf but don't have it connected up to anything, just use Apple TV, Amazon Prime, Streams and downloads so I wouldn't be watching them on the telly anyway.
