Are you one of these who only watches the England games, or the ones involving the big footballing nations like Brazil, or will you be GLUED to as much football as you can get your hands on?

Notwithstanding the fact that, in the final round of group games, both matches are played simultaneously, is anybody going for a World Cup Full House? :)

There are some epic days of football viewing lined up (all times are BST). Saturday 13th into the Sunday morning looks like a big day :thumbsup:

Chile v Australia 11pm


Saturday 14th June

Colombia v Greece 5pm
Uruguay v Costa Rica 8pm
England v Italy 11pm


Sunday 15th June

Ivory Coast v Japan 2am (this should probably be tagged on to your Saturday night, post-England viewing for continuity purposes :drink:)
Switzerland v Ecuador 5pm
France v Honduras 8pm
Argentina v Bosnia 11pm


Monday 16th June

Germany v Portugal 5pm
Iran v Nigeria 8pm

Then a horrible, football-free day on the Friday, until the second round games start :ohmy:

Round of 16: 2 games per day on the 28th, 29th, 30th of June and the 1st July.

Quarter finals on the 4th and 5th July

Semi finals on the 8th and 9th, and the final on the 13th.

The World Cup is the one time when I'll happily watch ANY match, so assuming I'm near a TV I shall be tuning in to as many matches as possible. Realistically though, during the week I'm only likely to be watching the 8pm kick-offs and bits of the other 2 matches.

Are the BBC matches going to be on iPlayer? It will be good to download them and watch them on the train home :thumbsup:

I'd have thought the kick off times are more work-friendly (for most people) than a lot of World Cups have been, given that the earliest are at 5pm.

Can't quite work out why there's one lone game with a 2am kick off.

I'm working on the evenings of all three of England's group games I think. So, all of England's World Cup games then :jester:

I will probably watch all of the England matches, plus the final. I doubt I'll watch more than that.

All of them if possible (although getting home from work will see me listening to the first half of 5pm games on the radio)

I'll probably be watching a lot of games. This World Cup will not be good for my exams.

Of those (non England) group games, Germany v Portugal looks like a standout one.

That said, if it's on TV and I'm at home, I'll happily sit through Ecuador v Honduras or Iran v Bosnia when it's the World Cup :)

England games I make a point of watching, usually in the pub with mates. Other games in our group I might watch at home if there's nothing else on. The rest? Me-h.

Oh, and once England get knocked out, I lose interest completely and rarely watch any more of it.

Japans first game of the tournament means they get to watch at a decent hour and prime time TV in Japan

Given the option, as much as physically possible. Happily, my first is due on the 25th June so, if he's even vaguely on time, I'll be off for a few weeks of it...whether I'll actually want to watch the games or just sleep instead is obviously yet to be seen!

Love the WC and watch as much of it as I can but being in Japan, this tournament's KOs are pretty bad.

Always watch England's games obviously. Then, being half Spanish, make sure I see all of them. I'm a bit of a Japan fan too but don't think I can quite manage making sure I see all three team's games.

I will watch as many as I possibly can. I work late on Mondays and Tuesdays but will be taking the ipad to work and have a gander when I'm not too busy.

I really do love being able to come home, flick on the tv and know that football will be on.
