I live in the US, and would love to go there for the actual thing, but my finances don’t allow it. So I wanted to know, if any TV channels will air the matches ?

ESPN aired the World Cup, but I emailed them, and didn’t get any reply regarding the european championship. Would I have to get digital cable and Fox Sports World ? Or are there no channels that will air all the matches ?

You might be able to find it on a Spanish language station in your market if you have one.
