    At least not in Chicago on Friday. Since then the station apparently had all weekend matches but according to schedule below coverage will be limited again next week. Anyone else also have limited coverage with their espn station?

    Stations in bigger markets like Chicago won't clear all the games because of local programming during the week. Most stations will air the games on the weekend unless they have rights to the local MLB game and they're playing.

    Unless I'm wrong, www.espnradio.com should have all games. I'm sure any one of a number of apps would also work.

    No, your correct - all the matches are available via the link you posted as well as the ESPN Radio app.

    We here in the Buffalo, NY area just started to get the matches on local radio. ESPN Radio-WWKB 1520 AM is currently broadcasting the Germany-Portugal match while WWWS 1400 AM will be broadcasting the United States-Ghana match later.

    (A Buffalo Bisons game which starts at 7:05 pm ET is the reason the much more powerful WWKB 1520 AM is not broadcasting the United States match vs Ghana. The other two United States group matches vs Portugal/Germany should be on the station - Bisons don't play next Sunday night and the following Thursday afternoon.)

    Also depending on the time of the day, we can also pickup TSN Radio 1050 AM outta Toronto, Ontario, Canada. (12:00 pm ET/3:00 pm ET/4:00 pm ET matches come in fine - unfortunately it starts to fade after 6:00 pm ET.) They are scheduled to broadcast 95 % (?) of the matches - the 5 % (?) they won't cover is when we get to the final group matches that are being played at the same time. They will only be broadcasting one of the two matches.

    The local espn radio affiliates pick and choose. In some cases if the local espn radio chooses not to air it, or has conflict (mostly day baseball games) the local espn deportes radio will switch to English for the "more important" matches since they don't have Spanish rights, and then switch back to "Jorge Ramos y Su banda".

    Update - Opps! The Bisons do play a game next Thursday afternoon - 1:05 pm ET home game against Columbus. So the United States-Germany will be broadcast on WWWS 1400 AM.
