First and foremost, if you want to get an interactive schedule for the World Cup, you can check out eunoia's thread 
So, who out there is watching the World Cup? I have noticed that this time around, there seems to be a LOT of support from those who generally don't care too much about football. Unbelievably, even my own bank is celebrating, by giving out little noise-maker things. And Canada isn't even in it (no surprise)!
The World Cup for me is a bit of an addiction, so I pretty much have my entire month laid-out, with one or two games per day that I plan to watch. The fun part will be working around them, it will be difficult to concentrate, haha!
There have been some good games so far, with Germany vs. Australia in particular being my favorite up to this point. I don't at all believe AUS' Tim Cahill deserved a red card, and think the ref was a bit card-happy, given that there were also five yellows given out the same match. It's a bit upsetting that the first game I watched turned out to be a relative snoozer, Uruguay vs. France... just expected a lot more there.
England vs. USA was interesting, but for the wrong reasons (GK screw-up). The US played well though, so if they keep it up, they might go far in this competition. England on the other hand needs to up their game. It seems as though they didn't expect too much of the US, and once they were found themselves lacking a groove, it was damn hard for them to get it back.
Netherlands vs. Denmark was quite a good match also, but I was expecting a bit more of Denmark. There were a couple of close goals, but the Dutch play some serious football and are difficult as hell to overpower... the team's line-up is drool-worthy! I can't believe the team waited so long to bring Eljero Elia on the pitch, though. They need to start him next match, because that dude can seriously play, and is a blast to watch.
Italy vs. Paraguay on in a couple of minutes...
I love the World Cup
