My father is telling me the world cup is on tape delay. HE's wrong right?

[Zippy Chippy]

He just came home from golf and said, "I didn't know the World Cup was on tape delay" I said it isn't.. He said at the golf course it was 0-0 on TV, but someone said, "Oh they won 1-0"

It's live, right??

Yes - it's as live as you can broadcast from half way around the world.

Yes, it's live and the US scored the only goal of the match during extra time -- almost literally at the last minute. That might explain the apparent discreptancy beteen the nil-nil and the 1-0 scores he heard.

Watching it here in UK, but speaking with family back in States during a game, I'm about 8 - 10 seconds ahead of USA TV action.

[Rookies]

It's both in Canada.

All games are live, but because of the intense interest in the sport, they're all taped for later viewing on the same day.

8-10 second delay and 8-10 hours ahead!
