Courtesy of my chinese lab mate, I found out that a software called Tvants can be used to see world cup games. They usually broadcast chinese channels but ESPN is also shown most of the time.
1. You can download the software from Tvants official site or you can download it from the following link (you need to unzip the file and run the exe file).

2. After installing the software, run it and go to the "search tab". If nothing is showing up click on "more".
3. I know that CCTV 5 shows the world cup games (commentary in chinese) and they have the best speed. You can also try ESPN too, but the speed might not very good because few people watches it. For the best speed, choose the channel with the highest number of audience. They also have some high resolution streams, where the picture quality is too good.
4. Choose the channel by clicking on it and wait for a couple of minutes to buffer.
Enjoy the WORLD CUP!!!!!
