Underground Stations To Give World Cup Scores

World Cup fever is ramping up.  Whether you love the game or hate it, there is no getting away from it.  The 2014 FIFA World Cup is here.  There are going to many ways to catch the latest goal action and no doubt you will be seeing the latest football scores plastered all over the place.  But I bet you weren’t expecting to see them on your regular and routine commute to the office, now were you?
There is going to be no escaping the World Cup at all this summer, even on your way to work! When travelling on the London underground, or the Tube as it is known locally, you will be able to see the latest scores on your platform as you wait for your train to the office.

To supplement the existing network of Virgin Media’s WiFi hotspots, which will allow you check scores on your smartphone, ESPN have linked up with Transport for London to bring scrolling results, score updates and news to platform screens and entrances in more than 140 different stations.
ESPN is said to have provided around £100,000 for the privilege of this media outlet and will kick off things on June 12th, when host country Brazil meet Croatia and then the action will continue until July 14th, the day after the World Cup final is played.
What do you think? Is it a good idea to convey this information to everyone as they wait for the train to and from work?  As always, if you would like to leave a sensible comment, then please do so in the comments section below.

How to Follow the FIFA World Cup

In June 2014, Brazil will host the 2014 World Cup. 32 teams will play each other for the FIFA World Cup trophy and title. Although more than three million people will attend World Cup matches, most people will follow the World Cup via TV, online or through clubs and sports bars.

Method 1 of 3: Following the World Cup on TV

1. 
   1
   Go online to find out what stations will be broadcasting the FIFA World Cup in your country. You can find a listing of stations at www.ipaddressguide.org/watch-fifa-world-cup-2014-online. In the United States, games will be broadcast on ABC, ESPN and Univision.

   Ensure you have cable TV access during the World Cup. Games will be aired between June 12 and July 13, but it is recommended that you sign up for TV by June to ensure access.
   • Only 10 games, including the final, will be broadcast on ABC in the United States, which may not require a cable subscription. The schedules are available on the ESPN website.^[1]
3.

   Sign up for a Digital Video Recorder (DVR) system if you want to watch all of the World Cup games. Occasionally, World Cup games are broadcast concurrently so that the outcomes cannot be tampered with during group qualifying matches. Recording them will allow you to watch them right after they are broadcast.
4. 
   4
   Call your local sports bars. Ask who will be broadcasting World Cup games and which ones they plan to broadcast. Large sports bars often have enough TVs to allow at least one to be dedicated to the World Cup between June and July.
   • If you like watching soccer games in a bar, you can save money by watching some games on Network television and others at a sports bar. You may want to compare costs of drinks and food at a bar to what a cable subscription will cost.

   1
   Go to FIFA.com. The website for the Federation Internationale de Football Association is the most visited sports website in the world. Go to FIFA.com/worldcup/ to find the latest news stories, bracket information and more.
