Are the FIFA 2006 World Cup matches going to be viewable as live video online? If not, why not? If so, where?

All the TV rights for the world cup belong once to Direct TV, and then when they Bankrupted in Europe Sky bought all the rights.  All games are supposed to be exclusively for Satellite/Cable subscribers (actually it is supposed to be pay-per-view), however some countries had come to an arrangement with Sky so they can broadcast National Team Games but not the whole World Cup.  There is no broadcasting Internet site TO THIS MOMENT that has an arrangement to broadcast live games.  And i think it will not happen.  So if you don´t want to miss a game, pay for satellite TV or stay with the few games your local TV Network will broadcast.

i'm keeping track with yahoo's matchcast.  wish there was live vdeo streaming but this will do.  it updates you live so you know when the fouls take place, shots, and of course goals. \nhttp://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/06/en/w/group/index.html\n\nespn has one as well.

I can sympathize with your plight. On last weekend our cable operator also blanked out the channel showing World Cup.\n\nIf you have broadband try watching it in the net there are few options available now:-\nResidents of the UK can watch any matches that the BBC are televising at www.bbc.co.uk\n\nOtherwise there are a host of great p2p TV streaming programs. Go to www.coolstreaming.it to find out more. Tvkoo & pplive are the best programs where you will be able to watch the games on cctv1 & cctv 5.\n\nYou could also go to www.viidoo.com and watch games on cctv5 or espn 2 but you will need to have Vlc media player which you can get at www.videolan.org.

My favorite two:\nwww.soccernet.com (click on the Gamecast section after locating the match)\nhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/default.stm
