A certain footballing tournament kicks off today and we\u2019re sure that at least 40% of you are very excited about the prospect of wall-to-wall football for the next month.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, the prospect of watching football non-stop and actually <\/i>getting to watch football non-stop are very different things. Life constantly gets in the way of settling down in front of the TV to shout at Roy and his boys \u201d\u201c stupid life!<\/p>\n
Luckily, we\u2019re committed to bringing you surprisingly easy ways to do everything here at musicMagpie<\/a> so here is our surprisingly easy guide to never missing a football match over the next month!<\/p>\n The chances are you\u2019re going to be caught outside while a match is on at least once this summer (unless you\u2019ve managed to clear your schedule completely and don\u2019t mind a complete loss of social interaction) so your best bet is to download an app to watch games on the go.<\/p>\n TVCatchUp<\/a> is particularly good (and completely legal), allowing you to watch ITV and BBC on a Wi-Fi connection.<\/p>\n If you haven\u2019t got a wi-fi signal, then you won\u2019t be able to watch the game (due to some legal technicalities). You will be able to listen to though, provided you\u2019ve got a decent data package. The brilliant TuneIn Radio<\/a> is your best bet here, with hundreds of sport channels (including all the big names).<\/p>\n You can\u2019t watch TV and you can\u2019t listen to the radio. What do you do?<\/p>\n Download one of the many live score apps, of course! LiveScore<\/a> is the pick of the bunch. Alternatively, the BBC\u2019s and The Guardian\u2019s minute-by-minute match reports are useful too, although they have a time delay of about 2 minutes.<\/p>\n Hey, there are still tickets left! Unfortunately, flights, accommodation and the tickets themselves are going to cost an absolute fortune. If you sell your Electronics, CDs, DVDs, Games, Clothes with musicMagpie<\/a> (and perhaps your house and car too, although we won\u2019t buy them) you might \u201d\u201c just might \u201d\u201c be able to afford a trip to Brazil.<\/p>\n With some of the games kicking off at 11pm, it\u2019s going to be difficult to stay awake either after work or for work the next day. Buy energy drinks in bulk and make sure you stock up on coffee (preferably a nice Brazilian blend to keep things topical).<\/p>\n Really, you\u2019re not going to mind if you miss Bosnia-Herzegovina vs. Iran, are you?<\/p>\n You are? Oh, right…sorry…<\/p>\n Your better half trying to get you out of the house? Just refuse. Sit in, refuse to get dressed and constantly remind everyone this only happens once every 4 years. You may lose friends, but at least you\u2019ll catch every game, eh?<\/p>\n How are you planning to catch every game?
