How to watch Free 2014 Brazil World Cup live Stream online, ITV or BBC?

In the UK, it's on 2 channels, BBC and ITV, which channel do you prefer to watch the games on?My choice (reluctantly) is ITV, why?I'll tell ya, the BBC's coverage of the games = shocking. The commentators, they use in the games are arrogant, (apart form the dude that used to commentate on Robot Wars, Jonathan Pearce) and sound as though they'd rather be on their summer holidays than in South Africa, a commentator earns his money by keeping the viewer interested in the game, even though the game may be dull or drab, they have to keep it interesting, we can hear the vu vu zela's in full effect, we dont wanna hear how they annoy them, they annoy me by going on about it all the time, if they were any good at their job's, they'd hardly hear the noise because they'd be concentrating on the game. The main offender (for me) is Mark Lawrenson, does this guy know that he's at the friggin finals of the biggest football showcase on the planet?I'd give a testicle to commentate football professionally, i'd give the other testicle to commentate at the World Cup!

 

BBC iPlayer not accessible outside UK

Despite the immense popularity of the service, BBC has decided to restrict iPlayer to UK only. This has caused a problem for many fans that like to see the service but cannot access it. A bigger problem is caused to English people when they move to Europe, US or China for business or educational opportunities. They are fans of the service because they have been watching talk shows, sitcoms and dramas on it for years and when they move abroad, they cannot access the service. Many of our readers who have now moved abroad from UK have been mailing us about this problem and need a solution.

 

Use UK VPN to Connect to BBC iPlayer

In a similar fashion BBC iPlayer has been restricted to the UK users only. This has made the users to think of connecting to these sites through alternative ways. These alternative ways may include some very insecure methods of connectivity which may risk into attacks from virus, hackers or cyber criminals. So to connect to these websites in a safe manner we suggest that you opt for a VPN connection. A VPN allows you to access all the websites especiallyBBC iPlayer outside the UK and in this way you can enjoy every single thing on the website. Buy VPN masks your original IP address to an IP address from the UK and in this way you become capable of watching the BBC iPlayer website.

What is a VPN?
VPN’s (Virtual Private Network’s) were first used by companies to enable their employees to securely access internal systems such as email remotely (e.g. from home or while on business trips). Today they are increasingly being used for personal use by individuals to protect their privacy while online in public places (e.g. when using the wi-fi connection in a cafe) or in a country where the internet is censored / blocked (e.g. China, Saudi Arabia…).

Why do I need a VPN?
Whether you’re an expat living in a foreign country where the internet is heavily regulated, a mobile user constantly on the road, or just someone concerned with maintaining their privacy online, having a VPN is becoming essential.

How to Watch the FIFA 2014 World Cup Online for Free

The world’s biggest soccer tournament, the FIFA 2014 World Cup, will be held in Brazil this year. Ticket sales are off the charts!

This World Cup event will kick off in June 12 and lasts until until 13 July. There will be 32 teams from all over the world competing for the coveted prize, the World Cup tropy. What’s your favorite team? Who’s gonna win it all?

For many of us who are not lucky enough to get tickets or be able to travel to Brazil to watch the matches live, we can still follow the tournament on TV or online. According to a survey conducted by YUME, most people in the US are expected to watch the World Cup on their smart phone or tablet devices.

You can catch your favorite match-ups by following the full match calendar here.
In the US, you can  watch all 64 matches on your computer, tablet, or mobile phone via WatchESPN and ESPN3, but only if you have cable subscription.

But what if you don’t have cable subscription and want to watch the World Cup online?
So is there a way to watch the world cup online for free?

Watch BBC’s Coverage of the World Cup Online for Free

If you prefer BBC’s coverage and want to get live streaming of the World Cup for free, you can  watch the World Cup with the BBC iPlayer or iTV. The BBC’s soccer commentary is much better than the US I believe.

Additionally, all BBC content will be available on demand through BBC iPlayer if you happen to miss the live matches.

The iPlayer is the internet media streaming service for BBC. Note that only those with a UK IP address can access BBC and iTV services due to GeoLocation IP blocking. Luckily, getting a U.K. IP address is quite easy.

To get a UK IP address, you can download our VPN app and use our HSS Elite VPN service to connect to a VPN server in the U.K. Hotspot Shield will then assign you a U.K. IP address and you can access the BBC iPlayer  as if you are residing in the U.K. Just make sure that you have fast broadband connection.

If you happen to be streaming the World Cup at a public WiFi hotspot, the good news is that Hotspot Shield will protect and secure your device, preventing hackers from stealing your sensitive information.

Hotspot Shield has support for multiple devices and platforms so you can watch the World Cup via BBC on your Mac laptop, Windows PC, Android tablet, or iOS smartphone.

FIFA World Cup 2014: When does it start? Where can I watch it? Everything you need to know about the biggest stage of all

Football's world showpiece kicks in to full swing this summer, find everything you need to know about the FIFA World Cup here

FIFA Secretary General Jerome Valcke, left, and President of Brazilian Soccer Confederation Jose Maria Marin

Where and when does the FIFA World Cup take place?
The FIFA World Cup finals kick off on June 12 in Sao Paulo when hosts Brazil take on Croatia, kick off is at 9:00pm BST.
You can watch that game live on ITV1.
Brazil is the host nation for the second time in the tournament's history, but it's the first time that the FIFA World Cup has been held outside Europe for two consecutive years.
A total of 64 matches across 12 cities in either brand new stadiums or redeveloped stadiums.
For the first time in history goal-line technology will be used at the finals.
Who is taking part?

Group	A
Brazil	Croatia
Cameroon	Mexico

What the bookies say: Brazil are clear favourites to win the group at 1/4 and 1/19 to simply qualify. It would be a major upset if the hosts were not to get out of their group but it surely won't be an issue as the current crop of players go in search of Brazil's sixth World Cup.

Group	B
Australia	Netherlands
Chile	Spain

What the bookies say: Spain are favourites to qualify at 2/9 and understandably so, they are the current holders of both the World Cup and the European Championship but if you're feeling lucky you can get 100/1 on Australia to win this group.

Group	C
Columbia	Ivory Coast
Greece	Japan

What the bookies say: This is a much closer group than the first two but Columbia are favourites (1/3) to qualify, however it remains unclear if their star striker Radamel Falcao will be fit to take part after he tore his ACL in January, requiring surgery. The recovery time for such an injury is 6 - 9 months but the Colombians surgeon is confident Falcao will be fit. Don't forget the Greeks, they know a thing or two about causing an upset at major tournaments and are the outsiders to qualify at 5/2.

Group	D
Costa Rica	Italy
England	Uruguay

What the bookies say: This is the most unpredictable group of the tournament, you could form a solid case for three of the teams to be favourites but only two can go through. Uruguay and Italy are joint favourites to qualify at 1/2. England are 4/6 with Costa Rica out at 12/1. The Uruguayans have a dangerous strike force in Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani but have an under whelming midfield. Italian head coach Cesare Prandelli has used 42 players in the last 12 international matches but with the likes of Mario Balotelli, Riccardo Montolivo and Emanuele Giaccherini in their ranks, they're sure to play a part.

Players to watch out for in Brazil

Group	E
Ecuador	Honduras
France	Switzerland

What the bookies say: Despite having to go into the playoffs to get to Brazil, France are clear favourites at 1/5 to qualify which is largely down to the draw being very kind to Les Bleus.

Group	F
Argentina	Iran
Bosnia & Herzegovina	Nigeria

What the bookies say: Argentina are overwhelming favourites in this group, they are 1/19 to get out of the group and chances are they will do it at a canter. Head coach Alejandro Sabella could probably get away with resting the likes of Lionel Messi and Sergio Aguero as the three group games will be little more than a training session for his players.

Group	G
Germany	Portugal
Ghana	USA

What the bookies say: The bookmakers think that both Germany (1/6) and Portugal (4/7) are going to qualify, which is likely to happen provided Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo gets the service he needs. The third favourite to qualify is the USA at 3/1 who will be hoping to toss a spanner in the works.

Group	H
Algeria	Korean Republic
Belgium	Russia

What the bookies say: Belgium are 1/5 favourites to get out of group H with the likes of Christian Benteke, Eden Hazard, Kevin Mirallas and Vincent Kompany in their ranks they have all bases covered and on paper are a world class outfit.    
      
FIFA World Cup 2014 in the media
Things are looking up in Brazil! Later this week, the country's president Dilma Rousseff is expected to open the new Itaquerao stadium in São Paolo. The celebrations mean that there will be a pitch, with most of a building around it and perhaps even a bench and a dressing room. Hurrah! Tom Bryant - Guardian

Anti-World Cup campaigners in Brazil have threatened demonstrations during the showcase tournament next month but FIFA insisted Monday that it would be an unfair target. Yahoo! News
England's bid for World Cup glory in Brazil this summer could be undone by a much-feared weather phenomenon. Climate researchers at the University of Reading say there is a 60% chance of an El Nino event hitting the country.

The scientists say the complicated meteorological system is likely to cause extremely dry and sunny weather in June and July. Matt McGrath - BBC News
