Wow, here in Brazil a 10-second lag is already unbearable... No matter where you are in a big city, you can hear the city erupt in different ways when the national team is playing

haha, that's true. it got to a point where my wife and i would close all the windows and watch the game using headphones on the tv because it was basically impossible not to hear "spoilers".

now one thing i'm impressed is that the internet transmission from SporTV had basically zero lag when compared to the TV one.

10 seconds for the digital, vs analog broadcasts, correct?

This article talks about the 'broadcast' over internet, which is even worse.

Analog signals are being phased out and no longer work in the largest cities. The difference here is mostly in OTA vs cable vs streaming, all digital.
