    Will you be watching every game from start to finish?

    How will you watch it? With your mates? With family? At the pub?

    The 8 13.30 kickoffs are a bit too early but are mostly shit fixtures anyway, so I'll skip most of those and only try to watch the 1 or 2 good ones among them, like the Holland games.

    Apart from that I plan to watch every minute of every other game Ale
    Probably a 70/30 split between watching at home and going out to watch it at some bar/cinema/random large outdoor 'fanzone' style venue. The latter will be mostly for big games.

    Large majority.

    Won't be able to see them all due to work or other clashes, but will watch every game I can, including the non-exciting. Oh, Greece-South Korea, How I will savour thee Smile

    I'll be away for the last few group games and the last 16 I think so will probably miss a lot of games those 10 days as I doubt we'll be scheduling our holiday around the WC!

    I'll probably start off by watching every game, I think any football fan in the world will be watching the opening game if they can, the build up has been too much Crazy

    Will watch the England games at bbqs/down the pub but most non england games I'll simply watch at home.

    Going out this friday though to watch the opening ceremony etc (got the afternoon off work) and got an epic afternoon of drinking planned for the day of the Portugal-Brazil and Chile-Spain games.

    I'll miss the weekday early and 3pm kickoffs because of work. I'll have to watch the highlights to catch up on those games but every evening game I will watch. At times like this I wish I was a student or unemployed.

    England games I usually go to a BBQ or bar. Everything else will be at home or at a friends house.

    No it's not. Luis probably realised that those of us who are serious about this World Cup will use one of the options below:

    1. Have 2 TVs side by side

    2. 1 game on TV and 1 on a stream

    3. Picture in picture

    4. Go to a pub where they're showing both games

    5. Watch one game live then the other one on replay

    This being a football messageboard I'd be thoroughly shocked if anyone voted for the last poll option. I'm a bit surprsed that one person voted for the 2nd to last option even!

    Not many tbh, the time schedule is just pretty annoying for me. Remember the same shitty times in 2002..was still in school so watched most matches in the coffeeshop. That was quite pleasant I must say, especially when it was Brazil v Turkey.

    Besides lot of matches that just dont interest me and should I watch New Zeeland vs Slovakia just because its at the WC? Dont think so

    I'll try to watch every game, but will inevitably miss a few.

    You know how it is with these tournaments, you think 'no way am I wasting two hour watching Bolivia play Uzbekistan' only to miss it and find out the following day it was a 7 goal classic.

    I couldn't care less if two teams i aint interested in have a 8-7 thriller. I'm still not interested.

    But anyway i'll try to watch every game. But for the first 7 days probably will then begin to pick and choose.

    What do you mean you aren't interested? Surely you'd be massively entertained by an 8-7 thriller, regardless of the teams lol!
