NRG Stadium already sounds wild. I’ll just watch on FOX and hope it’s on the right channel lol.
Wait it’s at 1 p.m. ET today? I thought World Cup matches were like night games only. DIRECTV free trial and Fubo too… so basically pay nothing for sports? Sounds too good.
So Canada is playing Morocco in the Round of 16, but didn’t Canada lose like… to everyone? I might be mixing it up with another tournament. Either way penalty shootouts are usually rigged or whatever, so Morocco better not get lucky again.
Telemundo for Spanish, FOX for English, and Peacock if you miss it… honestly it’s too many apps. Also DIRECTV free trial always makes me nervous, like they’ll charge you after. Why can’t they just stream it normally for everyone? I swear this is always a headache.
