World Cup Television Schedule

In the previous post about soccer intelligence, I suggested that you watch soccer games with the tactics from the NSCAA quizzes in mind. The perfect opportunity presents itself next week with the upcoming World Cup.

Every match of the 2010 World Cup will be broadcast by the ESPN family of networks: ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3 (formerly ESPN360), and ABC. The tournament opens on June 11th with the hosts South Africa playing Mexico at 8:30 a.m. Central Time on ESPN and concludes with the finale one month later on July 11th @ 12:30 on ABC. One month of soccer -- 64 games in all -- for you to see some of the best soccer players in the world.

ABC will broadcast 10 of the games (included the much-anticipated U.S. vs England match on June 12th). Every other game will be either ESPN or ESPN2. In addition, every game on those two networks will be broadcast on ESPN3 (www.espn360.com). The complete schedule can be found here. Tune in and turn up your game a notch.
