Without HD, watching the World Cup on a flatscreen TV is like looking through a pair of underwater goggles. While not seeing Alan Hansen's intensely hairy chest or Lee Dixon's surprisingly hairless eyebrows may well be seen as a benefit, the diabolically low bit rate of the standard definition pictures (on BBC and ITV) means that for anyone who actually wants to see the ball there's never been a more desperate need for Freeview HD.
