It's on TNT 6pm ko,and if we get to the final Friday night also 6pm on TNT.

Yep but my post was in reply to someone saying it would be on BBC/ITV

A decent read up (once from ESPN) of the teams, their style of play, their star player, and why they will and won’t win it.

Whoever is forcing you to watch this tournament is being really mean to you.

What is it like in your world ?

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

As long as I can remember it's been on free-to-air TV whenever an English team is involved. Until it's us, of course.

What is it like in your world ?

Fairly inclusive, quite global.

 

[Cobwebcat]

I'm really looking forward to this. I'm ready for a change and a break from what is a cesspit of a Premier League

Yes interested to see the different styles of play around the World.

Nice one. Interesting summary

Applied for and received my VISA (EVW) this afternoon so all set I think. Right ball ache entering everywhere I've been in the last 5 years and the exact dates, but otherwise fairly painless.

Always find a Salt water fly is the best to catch a trout.

The CWC kicks off.

Ittihad have Benzema Fabinho and Kante playing for them amongst 7 foreign players. Quite a high average age as you would expect.

 

[Alfie Budd]

For those without access to TNT, all the games are definitely available to stream for free on FIFA+

FIFA+

I've no idea if it's FIFA's own coverage or whether they just take a feed from an existing broadcaster.

You can watch live for free without registration here..

Loud atmosphere…

Al-Ittihad currently battering Auckland 3-0 after 40 mins.

 

[Macca3]

Auckland wouldn’t win a game in the Conference League! They are truly shocking!

 

[pride in battle]

Absolute screamer from Kante

 

[JGL07]

Auckland wouldn’t win a game in the Conference League! They are truly shocking!

Hardly surprising as the best New Zealand sides play in the Australian A League.

 

[Mcfc1.9.8.0]

Looks like I should pack some rain gear instead of summer clothes

 

[edinburgh123]

What bullshit is this - 12 clubs from Europe! Amazing how the cartel clubs always find ways to make more money regardless

But what is comical is scousers can’t qualify as us and Chelsea already qualified and United can only qualify if they win it. That makes it worthwhile. Oh and to make it even more comical Barcelona look like they aren’t gonna qualify as they are “third” behind Athletico. The three of them can fuck off to Asia and have a mini tournament at the same time which will probably get more press publicity in the UK

Wierd, I didn't have to do that part. Hope I've not done anything wrong
