Erik, I'm sure NOS will show it, right? I won't watch it on VT4 or KanaalTwee FFS.
They should have handed it to canvas out of principle.

Well, at least in the United States, ABC and its conglomerates of ESPN and ESPN 2 will be airing all 64 matches of the World Cup this summer.

I think the NOS bought the rights yeah... Unless Talpa beat them to it (they currently have the Eredivisie rights, which is why Studio Sport suddenly became boring this season :D)

They will have it in spades as usual.

The general rule about watching football in North America is: there are no reasons to watch football in English if you have the option to watch in en español.

As good as it is to watch commercial free football here in the U.S., they still find a way to annoy the heck out of you. There will be constant commercials prior to kick-off, so much so that you can't watch the ceremonies, national anthems, warm ups, etc. Even after the games, like when Barcelona won the Champions League, we could barely see the celebrations.
