I'm managing to watch but it is extremely annoying.

Mute sound, rely on closed caption. You miss the occasional "GOOOOOAAAAAAALLL", but there's always replay for that.

You must be watching in Spanish because the British commentators on ESPN are not indulging in hispanical celebrations of goals.

I have found that if I just watch the match and don't worry about the noise it fades into the background just like the constant crowd noise at any major sporting event.

Err! Imagine, the real "World Series". You know, for the 3 billion other inhabitants of the planet

Matt, I think the World Cup is a global loud horn blowing contest. Whenever they blow the horns, there are guys on a field of some sort with a ball, and sound from the horn is their signal to do something. But it's really just about the loud horns.

 

Yeah, Mitch posted pictures in his post above
