I'm probably going to get a barrage of negative remarks for asking this question but I've just googled and cannot find out which channels will show live 2010 Soccer World Cup matches. Has anybody else cracked the code?

Another way to find out is to flick the button on your remote when the games are on and you will without a doubt in the world stumble upon something German or French or Italian or Spanish. The above link is for Mannschaft free English commentary. Enjoy.

If you're an England fan... first two matches of the group stage will be shown on ITV1, the third match vs. Slovenia will be shown on BBC. If you have Cablecom, you have all of the free-to-air English channels... if you want to listen in English rather than German, Italian, or French.

If you're a fan of another country, you'll have to check the listings between BBC and ITV for English language coverage.
