45 minutes until kick off, I can’t wait… I have my month all planned out.
Now, I can only hope that the BBC aren’t blocking international listeners from listening on Radio Five Live online, otherwise it’s gonna suck.
EDIT: Yep, BBC suck… But not as much as talksport who teased us with the first 5 minutes and cut off mere seconds before Germany scored. Looks like I’ll be bringing in the XM radio next week.

Does this URL work? rtsp://rmlivev8acl.bbc.net.uk/farm/*/ev7/live24/radio5/live/r5_tl_g2.ra
I’ve used it in the past to get around the “we don’t have the rights to broadcast premiership games on the Internets” block. But that was here in the UK…
That URL doesn’t even connect, but even if it did work, I doubt it would as the BBC use RealPlayer which would require getting access to a SOCKS UK based proxy, 99% of them out there are HTTP proxies
Sucks, especially as the US radio broadcaster is XM, which my wife has a subscription for, but they arent broadcasting it on XM online… Oh well, at least I’ll see the England game tomorrow in full on glorious HD

Can you do me a favour?…………. If you don’t play Football Manager 2006 anymore, can you bring it over here for me when you visit please??
Cheers
Hmmmm ……………. I totally forgot that HP’s web servers for the U.K are based in France and as such I can’t watch or listen to any games either………..
