UPDATE 6/26 10:33 ET: The pregame feed, which just says the game is coming up at 10:55 ET, is now on ESPN360 and available via direct link here or cut/paste from below:
As far as I can tell after a little experimentation, if you want to watch a different game, you can just change the country in the URL to the home team, and change the date. I imagine ESPN will close this out at some point soon so get while the gettin's good...it's probably not a door they intended to leave open.
Here is the NEW basic format (YMMV with this, does not appear to be working any more):
To watch on 360 (not recommended, but its the only way it seems to work for some): 1) Click on ESPN 360 Link Above. 2) Click to launch player if it doesn't automatically. 3) Select "World Cup" on left. 4) Pick the game out from the 9 boxes that show up.
etc.....
Here are the old updates:
UPDATE 6/26 4 AM Eastern: ESPN now is giving everyone access to 360 for free, so you can watch the games in the 360 player just by clicking here
I will work on finding direct ASX links for today's games which will provide better video without all the extra ESPN crap. CHECK BACK AT 1030 ET FOR UPDATES.
UPDATE 6/25 11 AM Eastern: Links below are not working for many people. Thanks to minamelos for pointing out the issue. England v Ecuador can be seen using a 2 day old France link:
"Hé ! bonjour, Monsieur du Corbeau.
Que vous êtes joli ! que vous me semblez beau !
Sans mentir, si votre ramage
Se rapporte à votre plumage,
Vous êtes le Phénix des hôtes de ces bois."
