So is it on FS1 or like FS2? I’m confused.
DIRECTV free trial sounds great but I swear they hide the actual match behind like 12 menus. Also why does Canada vs Qatar need Telemundo? lol.
Wait if it’s at 6 p.m. ET, that’s 6 p.m. Vancouver time too right? I always mix that up. And I don’t get why FS1 has it if FOX is “exclusive” like the article says… sounds contradictory.
FS1, Telemundo, DIRECTV, Fubo, Sling, Peacock… it’s like they’re trying to sell me 6 subscriptions instead of just letting me watch. Also Canada vs Qatar is in Vancouver but Canada’s basically always cold so maybe Qatar will sweat? idk. Might just stream random and hope it works.
