How can I watch the women's USA v. France soccer match?

How can I watch tomorrow's USA vs France women's soccer match online LIVE?
I cut the cable ties and no longer have a cable provider. I remember reading that NBC was going to provide streaming video to cable/satellite subscribers who get MSNBC/CNBC, but I thought there was also a way to watch online if you're not a subscriber.
I have an iPad and a laptop (and an Android, but would prefer to use one of the other two).
Any help?

Response by poster: Yeah, I think game time is noon EST.

It's a 5pm kick-off in the UK, so COD's link is very much not live. You have MeMail.

Take some time off work and find a sports bar to hang out in for a couple of hours.
The Davis Grad says they are open at 9am and will be showing that particular game. Might be worth a call to see if they will be running it live or not.

Unfortunately, you're out of luck. NBC has the exclusive digital media distribution rights for USA, and as such live online Olympic video will not legally be available to U.S. viewers except via NBCOlympics.com and the NBC Olympics Live Extra App. In order to access the live online streams NBC requires you to verify that you subscribe to a cable, satellite or telco video tier that includes CNBC and MSNBC.

Actually, I already have taken some time off work, but I didn't tell them why, and I'd rather not be spotted in a bar at 9 a.m. :) (And the Grad is inaccessible to me because of the bus route I ride to town.)
I'll head to a sports bar as a last resort, but would rather watch at home.

And (supposedly according to FCC edict) you can't just pay for the video tier for a month and treat it as an extremely expensive PPV event; you have to have Cable Guy show up and do some installing, even if you're going to send back the hardware in three weeks.

This may or may not be legal where you are: Wiziwig has streaming of a huge number of soccer games and will no doubt carry USA-France.
