Watch the World Cup online for free (TVU)

For those of you who, unlike me, aren't able to watch World Cup games live and for free, why not consider watching them online. I'm pretty sure that this (TVU Player) is in... a grey legal area (as Fletch says when asked 'How grey?', 'Charcoal')... but at least I'm not telling people how to pull sickies.

The program works sort of like a file sharing (P2P) program, and allows multiple people to connect to - and share - nearly-live streaming TV. There's a delay of about 3 minutes on it but I'm watching Argentina vs Serbia and Montenegro on ESPN2 with a surprisingly good picture. The American commentary isn't top-notch, but then neither were ITV's mistake-ridden efforts last night.
