Excerpts from the above article:

  • but if you don’t have a cable subscription you’ll be able to watch at least the early round games online via Univision — though you’ll need to dust up on your Spanish to understand the commentary.
  • The redesigned ESPN FC website is fully responsive and has separate versions aimed at American, British, and global audiences.
  • Sports Illustrated has unveiled a new standalone website — Planet Futbol — to house its soccer coverage.
  • Upstart Fusion will be covering every game of the tournament live through GIFs.
  • Fusion has also launched a new soccer site in time for the World Cup, and it plans to cover each game with up-to-the-minute GIFs highlighting the most exciting plays and goals.
  • Fusion will also broadcast and stream a live show called Soccer Gods from Rio each night of the tournament, summarizing the day’s action.
  • Gawker Media’s Deadspin has also started a new site for the World Cup. It’s partnering with the quarterly soccer magazine Howler to cover the Cup on Screamer, its new soccer site. They’ll post unique content from writers of both publications throughout the tournament.
  • For the more literarily inclined, The New Republic will be running a World Cup blog throughout the tournament.
  • And if you’re still not fully prepared for the World Cup, Vox Media’s SB Nation has you covered with a massive illustrated preview to the tournament. They’ll be covering the World Cup as it progresses, but the preview is a good place to start if you want to learn more about the teams competing.
