Do you happen to know of any internet options for viewing the game. Here in North Carolina, Univision is showing Brazil vs. Mexico.

    I'm not really sure where to go online to see the games. I know that GolTV is showing the games. It's a pay per view channel; one of my colleagues at Dickinson (Pennsylvania) has it, so it might be available in North Carolina.

      For the full schedule try soccertv, and I also found this link from univision's website. I don't know if it really works, but it might be worth a try.

        Miguel: Have you seen any of the North Korean style tributes to Hugo, spelling out his name with cards? There are also 50 foot banners of him in the stadiums/stadia? Have you ever noticed that Evo always walks behind Chavez?

          Galloglass:

          That doesn't surprise me. Authoritarian (and non-authoritarian) regimes have used sporting events for propaganda purposes throughout history. Bolivian papers were reporting that 70% of the tickets weren't available for purchose (they were doled out by the regime), in large part, of course, to prevent any anti-regime protests at the events.
