Group of Death?? Sounds like they just mean its gonna be boring and crowded.
So it’s France vs Senegal at 3pm, but then why does it say Iraq vs Norway too like… all the games are at once? Who’s even watching that.
MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford is always a weird vibe. I saw something about FOX carrying 70 matches, but then Telemundo has 92?? That math doesn’t make sense to me, unless they’re double counting or something.
I’m just here for the streaming part. DIRECTV and Fubo free trial, okay cool… but then Sling and Peacock too?? Like they really trying to make people sign up five times. Also, why is USA vs Australia on a Friday at 3pm in Seattle, that seems random, can’t they put it with the main match?
