If you want to watch it free, I have 2 recommended places (online) to go to watch all matches free, with good quality resolution and hardly got disconnected.
1) Go to www.atdhe.net . It will give you all links to streaming of Live World Cup matches. Then Bookmark the page, and visit again before every match starts.
2) Download TVU Player. This player works on both Mac and Windows.
Start the player, Choose 'Sports' at the top, then select the Channel "CCTV-5-Sports"
Take a while for it to load... about a min or so.
CCTV-5 commentary is in Mandarin. Chinese commentary is quite interesting and sometimes, you may hear the commentators use Idioms, a.k.a 'Cheng Yu / 成语' in it. If you don't like it, you can just turn off the volume. :P
Some Disadvantages:
Your Streaming may be lagging behind by about 2-4 mins. Meaning while those who subscribed Singtel or Starhub shouted 'GOAL!', you will shout 'GOAL!' 2-4 mins later.
Under some circumstances, your streaming may 'jammed'. It may pissed you off when C.Ronaldo is taking a 30m shot, and the streaming jammed just when the ball is about to enter the goal post. You saw the goalkeeper diving. But you do not know if the ball is going into the net, saved by keeper or hit the post!!
If your internet connection is slow or is being shared by many other servers, then it is not advisable to stream online, because you'll be watching football in slow-motion. The goalkeeper may take 1 min to land on the ground after a dive.
Afterall, It's Free Live Broadcast. We shouldn't complain, and I'm lucky I'm not encountering a lot problems while streaming online:D
If you can't stream online, the best place I recommend is your neighbourhood kopitiam, pubs along Clark Quay, or some MacDonald restaurants (you may have to find it yourself).
Till then, enjoy World Cup 2010. Who will be the Runner-Up this year? Comment below! :D
