Default Question for the Old Expat: Football World Cup on TV

Hi,

I am moving to a flat that has Du as tv provider. I am looking to the different packages and all look crap. I watch TV close to nothing... except a month every four years... What package do you think would show the Football World Cup next year? Showtime? Orbit?

Who was here three years ago to answer this very important question?

Cheers,

Unfortunately, the Old Expat, Bungleboy, wasn't in Dubai 3 years ago...

Suggest you spread the net wider.....

Hahaha... download it? It is against my religion! I do not watch sports on TV... but during the World Cup I can watch Mali vs El Salvador if they are playing...
