With the opening march starting at 21h00 GMT on Thursday, what are some online broadcasts
of the match that are not broadcast in English? I think that this is a good opportunity to use native materials for target languages, i.e. watching the most important football (and sporting) event in the world in the target language. In the UK, there is Skysports broadcasted online through SkyPlayer, and ESPN3 for North America, which, if I am not mistaken, are all in English. I am sure that it should be broadcast in all European countries, but I am unsure where they are. My guess is that RTVE, RTP, France24, DW, NOS, etc. would air somehow, but I am unsure exactly. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I was hoping to find an online broadcast in Croatian but when I checked out the website
of their national broadcaster HRT, I found a message saying that because of strict rules about the transmission of the World Cup on the Internet, they are forced to restrict access to TV on demand and Internet broadcasting to people within Croatia until the end of the World Cup. I don't know whether this is something which will affect other national broadcasters. Btw I think the opening match is at 21:00 BST so 20:00 GMT? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I think you're going to be hard pressed to find a legal way to watch (or listen to) the
World Cup from any channel that isn't broadcasting in the country you live in. It's an issue of licensing and is the same issue that you would run into if you were trying to find a live stream of the Olympics from a country that you aren't currently residing in. By that what I mean is that, say I in the US wanted to watch ZDF's (Zweiten Deutschen Fernsehens) live stream of the World Cup because they broadcast it in German. There wouldn't be a legal way to go about doing that while still being in the US, despite the fact that other ZDF programs aren't region restricted. Of course in the US you also have the issue of needing to be a cable or satellite subscriber in order to watch things like the Olympics or World Cup online. 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I will be watching in Spanish on television and/or listening in Spanish to the radio when I am in the car via the over the air broadcast of WPAB 550 Ponce, Puerto Rico They also have an online live stream (audio only). Online radio may be the way to go for other languages too. Turn the sound down on your TV and listen to the radio broadcast. It may be old-fashioned, but it works.
I also remember listening live to Radio Nacional de España - Radio Exterior via shortwave during the 2010 world cup to Spain's games. Edited by iguanamon on 13 June 2014 at 4:43pm 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

That's a good idea, iguanamon. Online radio tends to be more accessible than online TV.
Unfortunately for me, games are on at some insane times here in Japan. How does 1:00 AM, 4:00 AM and 7:00 AM sound to you? The 7:00 AM and 4:00 AM games are not too bad on weekends since I don't work on weekends, but if my teams are not playing (none of the U.S. games are on the weekend Japan time), I have to record it and watch it at a better time, which means no simultaneous online radio.

Using a VPN from your target country will get around geographic restrictions. Generally these georestricted
streaming sites only do an initial check of your location. So you don't even need a good VPN, just turn it off after you're into the site. (there's nothing illegal about using VPNs, at most you'll be breaking the terms and conditions of the stream website) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Double take. Wha... on the radio? In the United States? Granted, it's Puerto Rico, but still... Where was this "soccer on the radio" stuff when I was growing up in the U.S.? I was ahead of my time as a soccer fan. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

If you sign up for a free account with TF1 (France) you can watch live streaming, which includes the FIFA World Cup. At least that's what my husband tells me.
