This potential storm.has messed my plans up.
I was just going to record it and watch it at 6am without checking my phone.
Fair chance of it being delayed either from the start or during the match so that might not work.
I can set it to record for an extra hour after the scheduled finish time but could be delayed more than that and there is potential for extra time so wouldn't need much of a delay for me to miss the end of the recording.
Going to set my alarm.for 1:50 and get up
Maybe put say 3 extra hours on your recording times? Or whatever you think is worst case?
You can delete it later when you've watched the match ;-)
For me staying up all night messes up my body clock, and takes me days to put right!
 
DAZN make recordings of previous matches available to watch later.
Tried to watch previous match on a number of devices: laptop, smart TV and mobile but DAZN didn't like the browsers I was using and said I would have to update my browser to a different version, I don't like to do this, when I wouldn't otherwise.

Eventually got my son to cast it to my smart TV from his work phone! I have found watching DAZN to be a right pain!
 
Orlando can get fucked. Why have they chosen a stadium in a notoriously unpredictable climate? You can't tell me the US dont have multiple other stadiums available that wouldn't be subjected to continuous weather delays.

It will be a struggle but i can stay up to watch this if it runs to plan but if we get a weather delay and let's say it's an hour plus the additional time to warm back up etc, the game being over before 4am then extends into, it's now Tuesday morning, the suns out and it is time to get up.

Might be one to find a re-run of, stick my phone on do not disturb to try and avoid all reports and catch tomorrow instead. Doubt I'll be able to avoid the result though. Once again, fuck Orlando.
 
I fucked up, I thought the game was this morning.
I’m sure that’s what my phone said.
So woke up at 2am to watch the game and couldn’t find it, ffs.
Unfortunately because of different international time zones it's showing on 2 different days, in the UK it's showing as Tuesday 1st July at 2am, but locally in the US the game is Monday 30th June at 9pm EDT.
 
Finish work at midnight... perfect. These will be no mugs and will treat it like a chance to knock out a favourite to win it. Have to be on it from the first minute. Inzaghi will have them set up to hit us on the break. Really hope we turn up like we did against Juve. Up the blues...keep the faith.
 
Can’t see anything other than a good piping for these lot. They’ve signed a few washed up players but we will be far too strong.

Won’t be watching at 2am, stupid.

Yeah I thinks that what happened.
My phone said tomorrow (on Sunday) at 2am so I think it’s registered the time but uses the date of the location haha.

Orlando is not unpredictable at 9pm. Most days storms have come and gone by 7pm.

And Mickey says fuck you & Manchester weather [emoji23]

PS: There have been 3 CWC games in Orlando so far, and I think none have had a weather delay. [Famous last words [emoji15]]

As always, really looking forward to the game.
I'd like to see Cherki start with Foden, and I would like Reis and Gvardiol at the back as I think that has huge potential as a footballing centre-back pairing.

When the competition is done, I think the clubs are going to say, the heat is a problem. And the storms are a problem. If they have more football tournaments e.g. the World Cup 2026 then I hope they select stadia with retractable roofs like the Mercedes Benz stadium in Georgia.

I agree with the comments about the kick-offs and storms. Thunderstorms do not tend to develop in the late evening. You would think the sporting authorities would know their country really well but they appear to have gambled.

I like the idea of a Club World Cup very much but there have been some problems.

I would like to see Stones come on as a sub to get him into the shape for a possible final.

Stones is our best central defender. He appears fit at the moment so let's try to use him as a sub. and see if we can get him match-fit. PSG lie looming for the final if we can get that far. I would be thinking about the future games, as well as the immediate game in front of us.

Agree 100%, I was really just responding re Orlando.

Good call. He is a wonderful player. I read, this week, that he wants to stay.
I said some months ago that playing alongside Khusanov and Reis to aid their development would be the best thing for the club regarding JS. Unfortunately, I cannot see him staying fit enough to be one of the main men on 40+ games.
