Fan of the ball, can't you imagine for a second missing the games of your favorite team? To not miss any meeting of this 2018 football world, we have put together a list of applications allowing you to follow the results and the matches on your phone..
The football world cup live on his smartphone
The football world cup will be held in Russia from June 14 to July 15, 2018. The best teams on the planet will compete to try to win the coveted title of world football champion.
For balloon lovers, this is an unmissable event. Unfortunately some matches will take place in the afternoon during the week. So how do you watch and follow a match at work or in transport?
MyTF1
With the start of the Football World Cup, productivity in companies is likely to decline sharply. TechnoWikis explains how to follow the majority of the matches in streaming and legally on your smartphone..
You should already know that in France, TF1 is the only free channel to broadcast meetings in the clear. But beware, of the 64 games planned, it will only broadcast 28. Among these games, we will of course find those of the French team, a few group matches and all of the matches in the final stages.
If you want to follow a meeting on your phone without paying a single penny, you will have to start by installing the MyTF1 application. Then proceed to register for the streaming and video on demand service of the first French channel..
- Launch the Play Store on your mobile (there is an iPhone version available on the App Store)
- Find the MYTF1 application or click on this link
- Proceed with the installation of the app
- Click the create account button
- Enter a valid email address and password
You can then watch the matches broadcast live by TF1 on your iPhone or mobile. Note that the meetings will start in the vast majority of cases at 2 p.m., 5 p.m. or 8 p.m. except the first match of the France team which for reasons of jet lag will start at 12 p.m. (French time).
The beIN Sports app
The sports television channel beIN Sports (Qatar-based BeIN Media Group) has obtained the rights to broadcast the World Cup in Russia. It will therefore be the only broadcaster in France to offer all of the competition's matches.
As a reminder, beIn Sports is a pay channel. The beIN Sports Connect option offers an offer at 15 euros per month without obligation. At this price, you will not only be able to follow world matches but also other sports such as Rugby, Basketball, Tennis, Handball or Boxing.
The multi-screen service (included in the offer) provides access to the channel's programs from a computer, mobile, tablet, game console or Smart TV. Insofar as TF1 will not broadcast all of the matches, the investment of 15 euros may prove to be interesting, particularly for football fans.
Be notified of the progress of matches
As much to tell you right away, watching a football world cup match at work is not very recommended. You risk being grilled by your boss. And then with matches starting at 2 p.m., it is difficult to leave the office earlier to follow a meeting.
Nevertheless, the football world cup remains an exceptional sporting event not to be missed. Besides streaming sites and replay services, there are other apps that are more discreet and very useful for being informed of changes in score and results.
Eurosport
Should we still present the Eurosport application? You will find there all the matches of the world cup commented on live by the biggest specialists of the round ball. You will also be entitled to the traditional results tables as well as many statistics.
The application also offers a whole series of videos to decipher the highlights of the sporting event. The set turns out to be very simple to use and offers full, real-time coverage of major matches.
Application of the Team
Some matches will take place at sometimes unusual times. Regardless, with the application of the French sports daily L'Equipe you will not miss anything. News, live matches, interview, best moments, the newspaper application will offer you to experience the World Cup as close as possible to the players with 24-hour monitoring.
And now you just have to place your smartphone in a corner of the office and voila. No one can suspect that you are watching a football match. Remember to take a look at your surroundings. You never know if your boss is going behind you.
