World Cup Day 5: Time, TV channels and how to watch online

For the first four days of the 2018 World Cup, there was something Juventus-related that tied us into at least one of the games being played. If it wasn’t a current Juve player, it might be a transfer target or somebody who has played for them in the not-so-distant past. There were Juventus storylines at the very least, sometimes even more than that.

The first Monday at the tournament brings us....

Yeah, I got nothing.

Sweden playing South Korea has ... Albin Ekdal?

Belgium playing Panama has ... no Radja Nainggolan to make fun of?

England playing Tunisia has ... some players that Juventus beat in the Champions League Round of 16 last season?

Grasping at straws, I am. Sounding like Yoda, I have been reduced to.

I guess the overlying theme here is that we’re going to be here for the football. Three games just as there was the day before, one final day to binge watch the World Cup without having to worry about it being during the work week and your boss looking over your shoulder without you having any idea they’re right behind you.

There is the chance to laugh at England, though. And who’s really going to turn down the opportunity to do that?

So, while we go a day without Juventus representation, we know that there’s the first game from Wojciech Szczesny and Juan Cuadrado — plus the always-wonderful possibility of Colombians dancing wonderful post-goal dances — and another round of scouting Aleksandr Golovin waiting in the wings tomorrow.

Enjoy your Sunday. Let there be more good football ... and maybe some laugh track-worthy moments from this edition of England’s national team.
