FS1 at 4pm? I’m confused why this isn’t on the main channels.
So Telemundo is the Spanish one but FS1 is English right? I feel like they always hide the games behind subscriptions and it’s annoying. Peacock too??
Wait is this the same match as the USA game later? Like Tunisia vs Netherlands and all that sounds mixed up. Also Lincoln Financial Field is in Philly so why does my app say it’s something else…
DIRECTV and Fubo free trials for one match and then it’s paywalled after? That’s so typical. I don’t even know which group E teams are who half the time, but “must-win” sounds like drama. Also Peacock on top of that?? Seems like overkill just to watch soccer.
