Once New Years Holidays are completely done with and I get my shit together, I'll probably put in an application to do something revolving around football (soccer), so I'd be more than happy to do World Cup stuff as well. Not sure how coverage is elsewhere, but we definately get every game televised live here.
And I'm no expert, but I watch F1 as much as possible, so I may be able to help out with that somewhat.
EDIT: Infact, I watch enough (i.e far too much) TV that I could help out with the round-table thing. I don't get cricket anymore though, so we'd have to put up with your Aussie bias on that.
I'm in.
