Still a decent number of empty seats, so maybe not even important for the fans haha. I presume it'll pick up closer to game time.
This month I'm either not changing my underwear or I'm gonna need to change them every game Waited 4 years for this I'm so excited
They do (for a long time now - the last world cup was in HD on Univision I'm pretty sure). Are you sure that you don't have it? If not, it's a limitation of your cable provider. You should call and check.

Capoeira sighting at the opening ceremony! At first, my brain thought "Caipirinha sighting"... apparently my brain thinks I need a drink tonight.
On purpose. Great to see a Mundial played in a country with a strong, real soccer tradition. But I expect to see quite a few empty seats, considering the prices and how bad the economic situation is for the middle-class and below in Brazil, in short, the people who love soccer the most.
Here's my bracket: Group A: Brazil, Croatia Group B: Chile, Spain Group C: Colombia, Japan Group D: Uruguay, Italy Group E: France, Ecuador Group F: Argentina, B i H Group G: Germany, Ghana Group H: Belgium, Algeria Round of 16: Brazil over Spain Uruguay over Colombia Chile over Croatia Italy over Japan France over BiH Germany over Algeria Argentina over Ecuador Belgium over Ghana Quarter-finals: Brazil over Uruguay Germany over BiH Chile over Italy Argentina over Belgium Semi-finals: Argentina over Chile Brazil over Germany Brazil over Argentina
The song didn't help. At least Wavin' Flag had a bit of melody to it. Although of course Waka Waka surpassed it ten times. Rarely WC-related music is memorable. Perhaps Ricky Martin's "Copa de la Vida" is the one that stuck around the longest, even though I never liked it. But then I'm a Baroque/bossa nova type, and anything with a lot of rhythm (including most rock) annoys me.
Personally I'm forsaking underwear altogether so my monthlong erection doesn't chafe against my clothes.
