World Cup Starts

And I'm frustrated - what looks like a great game (based purely on the text at Sporting Life and the BBC) is going unwatched, as I'm at work and don't have a TV handy.

Which brings me to the main point of this post - there's two (that I know of) ways to get the games streaming over the net to watch live. The BBC are doing it, and so are ESPN. However, two different problems present themselves - the BBC is limiting access to UK ip addresses only, and ESPN is even worse - it's on a special site and is limited it to certain ISP's in the US, and both Time Warner (work) and Comcast (home) are not on the list.

Aaarrrggghhhhhh!!! I need to just take the next few weeks off and lock myself in front of the TV...
