I don't hate soccer but I am not a fanatic either. You could count on one hand the number of games I have watched more than a minute of in the past 4 years. I will watch some games in this World Cup like I have done in the past and likely the semis and final. I will watch as long as the games hold my interest and in the multi channeled universe we have flip when they don't. I will give the games I watch a chance. My picks for the final would be Germany and Brazil unless they meet earlier.
btw every single game in the tournament is being shown on cable in High Definition up here in Canada so that helps.
