If you happened to drop some cash on a 3D TV, you’re a football (soccer for the North Americans reading this) fan and you live in Canada, here’s some news for you. Rogers (via my “best friends at Rogers”), Shaw (Warning: PDF), Cogeco, and Telus both announced that they will be doing a 3D broadcast of the third place and final matches in the 2010 World Cup in partnership with CBC. If you don’t have a 3D capable TV, don’t worry. The final two games will also be available in standard definition and in high definition. I’m sure this is neat for those early adopters who shelled out all that cash for 3D. So it would be interesting to see how many people actually watch a game in 3D. I have no clue how you would get those numbers, but it’s a question worth asking.

I note that the only television provider who isn’t part of this is Bell. You have to wonder why that is.
