I found a Hispanophone streaming
website for the World Cup, which is legal. I just am unsure if this works throughout Europe, or all over internationally in general. Edited by 1e4e6 on 16 June 2014 at 10:50pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

You're not missing much. The quality becomes terrible once the matches start. You can barely see anything through all the blur. I'm using the DNS provider UnoTelly to access it but just for the audio. They're offering free trials for the duration of the World Cup if you want to give it a go. I've been using them to access geoblocked sites for around a year without problem. A better option is radio stations. Set your telly to the match and delay it a few seconds to be in time with the radio stream. Since radio commentators focus more on the play than TV commentators you'll have more visual cues to what they're saying. For French: "Europe 1 Radio" on TuneIn often broadcasts matches and is available here in Australia. Sadly they don't start broadcasting the match until five or so minutes have passed. When two games are on at the same time they swap between them which is insanely frustrating. If anyone knows of a non-geoblocked French station which doesn't do this please let me know! I also listened to a match with "RTBF International" but I'm not sure they broadcast many, possibly just Belgian matches. For Spanish: The US channel "Futbol de Primera" is geoblocked on TuneIn, but their website stream works. Well, for non-Mexico matches it does. It evidently can't cope with the number of expat Mexicans listening in at work :). I really enjoy their commentary, both lively and descriptive. GOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLL! I've also used "ADN Radio Chile", "Radio El Espectador"(from Uruguay) and "SER Vitoria" (from Spain), all on TuneIn.
It's blocked in Australia. Edited by AlexTG on 24 June 2014 at 1:46am 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Good advice about the delay. I was watching some matches on TV while listening to Portuguese online streams, and the delay was 22 seconds! I had seen multiple replays of goals before the radio announcers started their customary "GOOOOOOOOOOOAAAALLLLLL!" shouts.

Or if you use a proxy server, given that we've already established that virtually all live feeds are blocked outside of the geographical zone defined by the publisher's contract. Did you expect the francophone feed to somehow be different from all of the other video suggestions in the thread? But as AlexTG already mentioned, the quality is nothing spectacular. The TF1 feed tends to be rather choppy for some games (surprisingly, the France-Switzerland game ran really really smoothly at top quality — I would've thought that one should have lagged due to server overload), and you need to lower the quality to get past the lagging... or watch everything from an alternative camera angle without commentators, defeating the entire purpose for language learners. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

This used to bother me but now I'm used to it :) 22 seconds isn't that much anyway, many streams are a minute behind, especially p2p ones. 1 person has voted this message useful |
