5pm ET July 4? So basically the game is on during fireworks lol.
Wait is this on FOX or is it Telemundo? I feel like it changes every year and I always pick the wrong one. Also DIRECTV free trial… does it charge after or nah?
Mbappé already scored twice vs Sweden, so Paraguay is cooked right? Like even if they beat Germany in penalties, penalties don’t mean anything once France gets going. I’ll just watch on Peacock though even though it says FOX/Telemundo.
Why does it list DIRECTV, Fubo, Sling, and Peacock like four different answers… I’m confused. Also isn’t Lincoln Financial Field in Philly, but I swear I read somewhere it’s in Paraguay?? Whatever, July 4 5pm ET better be right or I’m gonna miss it. Tele mundo Spanish coverage sounds good but my app never works on game day.
