While the BBC doesn't offer its streamed video to anyone outside the UK, its website does offer a cute virtual replay feature of key World Cup moments. But all the true geek needs is a real-time Telnet stream that depicts the action using nothing but plain text ascii characters. If that sounds like you (you poor dribbling fool) proceed immediately to ascii-wm.net. (If you haven't used Telnet for a decade or so you'll be thrilled to learn XP has a built-in client. Hit the keyboard shortcut Windows Key-R, type cmd then telnet. You might have to turn off your firewall first. But, of course, it's worth the risk.)
