We're embroiled in the middle of the World Cup from Russia right now, and although soccer has been on TV all day every day, we understand that not everyone has cable to watch it -- especially some of the affiliate channels that it's being displayed on. There's a lot to watch this World Cup, so you'll want to catch every second of the action.
There's certainly plenty to take in. Cristiano Ronaldo vs. Lionel Messi is one of the most compelling storylines of this tournament, with each one playing playing in their fourth. Messi's Argentina made it to the 2014 final, where it lost to Germany. And speaking of Germany, the Nationalelf have been part of arguably the biggest upset of the Cup so far, falling to Mexico 1-0 before bouncing back with a win over Sweden.
Iceland and Panama are playing in their first World Cups, with Iceland drawing with Argentina before bowing out of the tournament on Tuesday. Panama lost its first two matches but scored its first-ever World Cup goal despite crashing out of the group stage.
Then, of course, there are the favorites: Brazil. Brazil is looking to recover from a devastating 7-1 loss to Germany in 2014, but it certainly has the firepower to do so.
