Watch the FIFA World Cup 2010 in Orlando

The countdown to the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa is on and millions of people all over the globe will be glued to their TV sets as the action takes place. There’s absolutely no event like it…totally and utterly unique.

In the US we have “The World Series” in Major League Baseball and the team that wins the NBA (National Basketball Association) are often called the “World Champions” but reality is that the teams don’t compete on an international level. Soccer, or to give it it’s correct name…football,  is different. The World Cup winners are indeed the best in the World.

So, we look ahead to Friday 11th June in Johannesburg when South Africa take on Mexico in the curtain opening game. A day later is one of the most anticipated games as the United States takes on England at Rustenberg.

The 2010 FIFA World Cup will be the 19th FIFA World Cup and the final will take place on 11 July. This will be the first time that the tournament has been hosted by an African nation, after South Africa beat Morocco and Egypt in an all-African bidding process. This decision left the Oceania Football Confederation  as the only confederation yet to host the FIFA World Cup. Italy are the defending champions.

There’s much to look forward and a complete list of games is listed on the FIFA web site at the link below.

So while we wait for the matches to begin, those folks visiting Orlando will be anxious to know if they can watch the games. For those staying in one of our vacation homes then I’m pleased to say that most of our homes have large screen TV’s and the right TV package so you can see all the action. For those wanting to join others and enjoy a friendly atmosphere at the pub or bar then there are several places you can enjoy a drink and the game.

Here’s a list:
