I can't stream this stuff at work, I thought the advantage to having it held in the Americas would mean at least the odd prime time'ish game here & there. It feels like games are airing at the same time they would if this was in Spain or something.

Or am I just that much of a soccer noob, and games are never played in the evening? Too bad, I'm so into it all weekend, and then pretty much forget about it during the week, save for a 10min FAN960 wrap-up on my drive home.
yeah all games are played at european primetime except the Korea/Japan world cup which couldn't be avoided.

So World Cups in the Americas are always super hot. They played the 94 World Cup final in the Rose Bowl at noon which was insane. Or the 86 final in the Azteca at 2pm.
