How to watch the World Cup (and other sports) live without cable or a TV

sudshr47 June 15, 2018

Let’s be honest, there are few feelings that can match the rush of watching live as your favorite soccer team wins in PKs during the World Cup, snags a game winning run in the bottom of the ninth, or gets a sudden KO in the middle of the octagon. Even seeing these major moments an hour later — or worse, catching wind of them on Twitter — is enough to cause despair.

But how do you watch live sports if you don’t have cable — or even a TV? The good news is that you don’t have to rely on cable anymore in order to follow your favorite sports teams live, and these services prove that. Read more…

Culture Memes Sports Web Culture World Cup

Someone brought an IRL World Cup meme to a soccer match

sudshr47 June 15, 2018

The U.S., along with Canada and Mexico, will co-host the World Cup in 2026. This means it has a good chance of getting an automatic bid for the tournament, even if the team doesn’t actually qualify.

Fun loophole, right? And considering the U.S. men’s team didn’t qualify this year, it’s a pretty exciting idea for American soccer fans. So exciting, in fact, that the idea has taken on a miniature meme life of its own, courtesy of Roll Safe.

By this, we mean that everyone is making the same joke.

World Cup opening game proved a little tricky for people with colour blindness

sudshr47 June 15, 2018

Did you have a little trouble distinguishing between teams at the World Cup opener? You weren’t alone.

During the opening game between Saudi Arabia and host country Russia on Thursday, people watching who have colour blindness complained on Twitter they had trouble identifying which team they were cheering for.

Why? The teams wore red (Russia) and green (Saudi Arabia), two of the colours people with a type of colour vision deficiency (CVD) are unable to distinguish between.

More than a few people were upset.

A ‘clairvoyant’ cat has predicted who will win the World Cup opening match

sudshr47 June 14, 2018

Psychic animals predicting the results of big events is pretty much a time-honoured tradition.

We’ve previously had a Scottish goat divining the US election result (it got it wrong), and — many years ago — we had an octopus called Paul who used to predict the winners of World Cup matches (he sadly passed away back in 2010).

Well, now it’s Achilles the cat’s turn.

Nifty Spanish reporter gets around French-only rule with phone translator

sudshr47 June 13, 2018

As the French national soccer team gears up for this week’s World Cup, speculation continues to mount over the playing future of one of the team’s star forwards, Antoine Griezmann.

And journalists want to know what the heck is going on — in any language.

Griezmann, who plays for Spanish team Atlético Madrid, is rumoured to be moving to rivals FC Barcelona next season. The striker has so far confirmed that he’s made up his mind, although he stopped short of revealing where he’s going to.

To stop Spanish reporters from constantly bothering Griezmann about his plans, team France’s press officer only allowed questions to be asked in French during a conference on Tuesday. Read more…

La Liga spies on fútbol fans through its app

The unthinkable has happened: an app maker is actually admitting it’s secretly listening to us!

The official streaming app of Spain’s La Liga soccer division has been listening to its users, according to Spanish newspaper El Diario. The app activates the microphone when GPS detects that users are in a bar, all in order to discover whether venues are playing illegal streams. Yikes!

La Liga is one of the top soccer leagues in the world, with superstar Lionel Messi as a player on the team FC Barcelona. The app has over 10 million installs in the Google Play store. Read more…
