    Hi,
    It's unlikely due to licensing and sponsorship you'll get any website showing the world cup matches on trhe net.

    If you can get Freeview reception at your workplace (type in your workplace postcode at https://www.freeview.co.uk) then you might be be able to get away with a Freeview tv card like this http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000ALAWQ6/ref=cm_lm_fullview_prod_1/202-4948303-2274207?%5Fencoding=UTF8

    If we're all lucky matches might be uplaoded to the likes of google video!
