USA vs. Algeria and ESPN3

I don't have cable, never have, never will...frankly, I just don't trust myself with a remote. While it's fine most of the time, live events like the World Cup are particularly painful.

However, I just realized that ESPN3 is streaming all of the games live...wow, cool! Unfortunately, you need to connect to your ISP and man, that can be harder that it sounds. It took me a while, but i finally figured out my ATT account username/password - not via my ATT account of course, that would be too simple...but, thru a customer service call. It's amazing how companies like ATT make it so hard to enjoy really cool benefits that they provide.

Oh well, at least ESPN3 is working and I'm set for tomorrow's game! Now if ESPN supported html5 video instead of flash, i'd be able to use my iPad as a TV...next time, i'm sure.
