Thousands of miles away from the hustle and bustle of Munich and Gelsenkirchen, millions of die-hard soccer fans are suffering in America. Suffering not in agony, but in silence. If you, like me, work a nine-to-five job in America, watching the World Cup is not an easy experience. Most employers won't allow you to watch TV at work. The game times on the East Coast are 9am, Noon and 3pm. And options are few and far between. Those hoping to listen to BBC Five Live's radio commentary were disappointed to find out that the Beeb doesn't have rights to broadcast the matches to those outside the UK. And if you try to record the matches at home and watch them after work, you go through your day hoping that no one will blurt out the result to you. Find out how some die-hard fans in America are getting through their days by reading the blog postings at the official EPL Talk Blog. For next week's weekday matches, the options include XM Radio, who are broadcasting live commentary of each match on their satellite radio service. Or you can read the minute-by-minute text commentary via the BBC and Guardian web sites. Any other ideas? Cheers, The Gaffer www.EPLTalk.com
