I am one of the unfortunate ones who's TV provider is Virgin Media so I'm unable to get Premier Sports on the TV for the World Cup. I know I can probably get it for a tablet or PC but it's not the same to me. With that in mind and for any other poor VM customer then here is a bit of good news. The scheduling of the BBC games live.

Even assuming the highlights programmes may be late night, I'd say it's very good free to air coverage.

Increased coverage on the news, radio and BBC Sport website is a huge boost too. Saturday afternoon on BBC One as the winter rolls in and there's not a lot to do is a brilliant slot.

I presume BBC are showing both Semi-Finals?

That seems to show it is showing a semi-final and a quarter final, which would be a shame.

Im sure both will be shown.England,should they get there, then their Semi will be BBC 1 and the other BBC 2 i reckon.

Yeah...there's rlFArl to do
