<p>My family has already bought the digital cable modem package.&nbsp;It is also the&nbsp;school holidays now in Singapore. I will certainly enjoy watching the matches. China and Singapore have no time difference, so we will be watching the matches at the same time. My family has made all preparations to catch the exciting World Cup live broadcasts. Singapore's normal television channels only broadcast matches after the quarter finals. Therefore, we got the digital cable modem package to view every single match.</p><p>I hope everybody can enjoy staying up to catch the matches live and get as much information as possible on this not-to-be-missed soccer festival.</p>
