i don't know if u guys are just as ampted as i am about the world cups coming up, but i am ecstatic! but it kinda stinks cause theres not that many places that broadcast it...atleast live anyway...considering they are in linz, amsterdamn and lucerne. But I did here about WCSN, i think its called world championship sports network and how they are having all the three racing world cups broadcasted LIVE and on-demand which will be pretty nice...and whats even better is that its only like 5 bucks for an entire month! And, i think they are also gonna play the upcoming world and european championships! pretty sweeeet! anyone else getting excited??
