  1. Wait so FOX has it but also Telemundo?? I’m confused, like is it the same game on both or different channels. Also free trial again lol.

  2. Peacock too?? I swear every sport is on a different app now. I read “exclusive home” then it says Sling and Peacock so which is it. My dad said DIRECTV is the only way but he always says that about everything.

  3. Why does it say FS1 is daytime for group stage like anyone’s free in the afternoon. Also 104 matches total or whatever… sounds made up. I just wanna know if USMNT is playing that same day because I saw somewhere it was “every knockout” and I’m pretty sure that means today.
