Good news for all of you football soccer fanatics, as two major wireless carriers — Sprint in the U.S. and Rogers in Canada — have announced that their subscribers will be able to watch the historic tournament unfold before their very eyes on their mobile phones. In the U.S., Sprint has entered into a partnership with ESPN to make 56 of the tournaments 64 matches available through ESPN Mobile TV. This service will be provided as a part of Sprint TV and will be free to anyone who has a Everything Data plan. In Canada, Rogers Wireless will allow its Rogers on Demand Mobile subscribers with an Android, BlackBerry or iPhone device to watch all 64 matches from their phone the Rogers on Demand Mobile app. The caveat here is that the service costs $5 per month in addition to a one-time $10 fee to enable access to World Cup coverage. You Canadians are hip enough to the scene to know that was to be expected, right?

    You shouldn’t have crossed out the “football” word. Indeed it is played with the foot unlike the pussygame where they run around with bodyarmour an egg in their hands.

    • AKGrown

      wouldn’t exactly call it pussy. They do break more limbs then you ever will. And I guarantee they could kick your ass. I can respect if you don’t like it though.

    • TopKill

      You’ve obviously never been athletic enough to play either the “pussygame” or the foot game to make such an ignorant statement as that…

    • George

      I don’t think that’s too nice. I play football. I’m good at football. I’m well respected at football. And I use my hands, so yeaah. No lie, I like Football better then SOCCER!

  • jray

    Technically it’s called futball. And it’s 20x better that what we in america call “football”.

  • TopKill

    @Jray- 20x better than football?Seriously? I can understand folks not liking football, and probably never following or playing it. But to throw out crap like it’s a “pussygame”, and soccer is 20x better than football really shows your ignorance. It’s like as if I said girls and preschoolers play soccer so it can’t be that hard to play. Sounds stupid huh? That’s about how y’all sound… You like soccer, good for you. Don’t act like you k ow anything about football by putting it down….

  • Jacky

    The word “Football” means for me a sport you generally play with a ball by foot. I don’t know why, “american football” use the word “football” because they often use theirs hands to throw the ball, I am right ?
    Please don’t say they use also their foot to run, like in “soccer” (I don’t like this word :S).

  • Mike

    I can’t wait for the World Cup to start I love football! I will be watching all the games whilst I work on my mobile phone using the free live service from yamgo dot mobi ! They have live TV channels and thousands of videos including WED 2010, Classic Goals and Bikini Babes!!

  • ojmayo

  • Ben

    At least American Football is exciting, Soccer is as exciting as watching grass grow, thats why Soccer has only a niche market in the US

    • gyubok

      American football is only popular in america. Nobody in this world give a fuck. On the other hand, the real football is the biggest event in the world. Ignorant americans think the biggest game in their country is the biggest game in the world. What fools.

    I played american football and futbol and I have to say futbol is much more game. They have no timeouts for one thing so you have to be much more in shape. plus you don’t much about people getting busted for using roids in futbol so it makes it more natural.

  • Brad

    I am American and I think futbol is a very exciting sport, I like it better than american football.
