    Here is an article from SoccerTV on TV coverage of the World Cup that I thought might interest some on here:

    World Cup 2006

    February 8, 2006

    All 64 matches of FIFA World Cup 2006 will be televised in the US LIVE or via short tape-delay in the US in English, Spanish, and Korean.

    Soccer United Marketing (SUM), the marketing arm of Major League Soccer (MLS), will present all 64 matches LIVE in English, with no commercial interruptions during play, on either ABC, ESPN, or ESPN2, in both standard definition and optional high definition (Cable and satellite TV operators charge extra for ABC HD, ESPN HD, and ESPN2 HD).

    Univision Communications will broadcast 56 games live on Univision and 8 games live on TeleFutura, all in Spanish, with no commercial interruptions during play, in standard definition ONLY.

    KBS World, a Korean-language subscription channel available via DISH Network satellite TV and digital cable in some areas (such as parts of Los Angeles), will have 56 games live and 8 games via short tape-delay, in standard definition ONLY.

    In Canada, Rogers Sportsnet, TSN, and CTV will combine to air all 64 games live in English, while RDS will air all 64 games live or via short tape-delay in French.
