If you're without access to ESPN 360, then you'll have to consider less official options. Peer-to-Peer networking is your best bet, and there are a couple of sites that make it really easy. The first is Justin.TVhttp://www.justin.tv/2, the second is ATDHE.nethttp://www.atdhe.net/index.html3. Justin TV is like a giant lounge with people streaming all sorts of video online. You'll need to search out sporting events, and you may get a number of channels that trying to re-direct you to their pay site by displaying a static image that looks like the game you're looking for. You should never have to pay for a live feed through Justin TV, and you probably don't want to link to anything other sites from one of the fake streams.

ATDHE.net is actually even easier to use. Unlike the open list of events from Justin TV, the sports listed for viewing on ATDHE.net are selected ahead of time by editors ensure that you're getting a working feed. You'll see right away a list of events available for viewing that day. Once the game has begun, just click on the feed you want and a new window will pop up, bringing you your live game in seconds.

Keep in mind that all games broadcast over either of these sites are subject to removal, and may be taken down at any time. It's not that common, but don't be surprised if you lose a game now and then.

The first two options are your best bet for live streaming soccer, because they're so simple to use. If you still haven't found your game, you're probably trying to watch the local metro league on Setanta. Still, it's worth trying one more thing. Try visiting MyP2P.euhttp://www.myp2p.eu/guide.php?part=software4. It requires some software, which you'll have to download, such as Sopcast or TV Ants. It's easy enough to use and the software is free, but it's more complicated than either of the first two options. You can search MyP2P.eu's list for sporting events of all kinds, but international soccer is especially common and easy to find. Just click on the one game you want to watch.

Once you get it all installed correctly, a new window will open up. It can take a few minutes to get the stream stable, but once it does you'll be taking in all the live soccer you can ask for. You'll want to remember that some of the games broadcast and listed with P2P software come from international feeds. A CCTV channel, for instance, comes from China, so the play-by-play may be a little hard to follow.
