It may not go so smoothly - it looks like FIFA has goons, er, lawyers already on the prowl:

Good thing FIFA will be paying some lawyer £200/hr to browse a website that basically never covers sports!

The Beeb is planning on streaming all (most?) the matches, but only to UK residents. (Actually, only to people who pay the annual TV licence fee.) I wonder how long it will take for people to figure out how to trick the system into letting the rest of us grab it? That might do bad things to my productivity for the next month....

Go Togo!
