Team USA is now through to the next stage! This is the first time this has happened in 2 consecutive World Cups. We face Belgium next Tuesday July 1st, but how can our Cord Cutters watch the game?
Last week we provided you with the Complete Cord Cutters Guide to Watching the World Cup. This week we made sure you were able to see USA take on Germany, and now, we give you the last 16 and a surefire way to keep up with all the action.
If you are living in an area that picks up Univision (Spanish broadcast television), tune in and turn on the radio to your local ESPN affiliate station. If you do not have access to the broadcast in your area, another option as a cord cutter to experience the World Cup is to tune into the match on Univision and listen to the game on ESPN Radio. (Note: there is a 45 second delay on the audio stream. Press pause on the video for 45 seconds to sync up the audio).
Without further ado, here is the updated schedule for your viewing pleasure.
