    • I’ve been looking for an answer for the past week and always the same thing, TBA but It might be on Pluto TV, I tried earlier to fast-forward the schedule to tomorrow but it only goes to the next 4 hours.

      I can’t stand USA tv rights. I’ve signed up for 5 sports subscriptions including fubo, Fanatiz, paramount, etc and I still can’t get all games. I remember how everyone thought moving away from cable would last but now it’s almost worse. Spending hundreds a month just for sports + all the other shit subsc for movies and shows like Netflix, Disney, Amazon , etc.

      And all these big ip owners throw public fits about pirate websites. I’m tempted to go back to to good ol’ days of pirated free shit quality streams

  1. Out of all the years, how can Messi not win the Balon d’or? I’m not saying this as a Messi fan, but rather as a football fan. Haaland had an amazing year, I’m not taking anything away from him, but a 36 year-old Messi played an unbelievable World Cup. You can’t weigh the award on only 7 games, but Messi contributed in 62 goals across 53 matches, same as Haaland. The world Cup has to be considered. In the end it doesn’t matter , if he wins it’s “rigged”, if he loses I’m sure some will celebrate.

  2. From Gaston Edul:

    La formación probable de la Selección Argentina:
    Dibu Martínez; Molina, Romero, Otamendi, Tagliafico; De Paul, Enzo Fernández, Alexis Mac Allister; Messi, Julián o Lautaro y Di María.

    Same lineup in the WC final?
