Install pplive on your system, make sure you chose english as your language. The options should appear at first start and you can change some settings like ports, connections and the like. Click ok or hit enter to leave the options. Select Play from the menu and you see a channel list on the left, probably lots of garbage if you don´t have the appropriate fonts installed on your system. But this does not matter.

The important channels are the following:

CCTV1, CCTV5 and probably Shanghai Sports

All three seem to be showing all games of the football worldcup live. Take a look at the boxtobox website for a complete schedule of the games and which station is broadcasting it.

I suggest you take a look at this tool if you can´t watch a game in tv.

Update:

Download the latest Tvuplayer version from Rapidshare and select the channel ESPN2, they show the games live and it´s working. Downloads also available from Badango and Rapidsharing.

Update 2:

I compiled a list of frequently asked questions that tries to answer some questions about the tvu player.

Update 3:

If TVUplayer does not connect you have the option to download either TVants or Sopcast and watch the worldcup or other sport events from those programs. (CCTV 5 is the channel, unfortunatly with chinese commentary)
